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

Hi Roy... I think I may have found some of my problems

My generator program is dooing some funny roundoffs of the wire
coordinates. It looks like I may have wires that are not connected.

  It is not clear that this should account for everything, but currently
it is a good bet
