Re: NEC-LIST:old question on non-physical output

I discovered some time back that NEC-4 would truncate input lines that
have too many characters. This usually happened to me with GW "cards",
resulting in the exponent of the radius field being truncated or removed
if it was in scientific notation. I don't know, but assume, NEC-2 will
do this also.
