A good Mininec alternative is ASAP. Its available on Ray Cross's
homepage in FORTRAN, and on my page below in Numeric Python. The fun
part about the Python port is that it is extensible. The source code is
the code, and its very readable, with lots of comments. I've added a
unit (m, ft, etc) card, and it still plots out like the old FORTRAN
version (I love those old ASCII plots :). If you want to give a try at
Python, you can easily put the analysis into a loop and have a program
that does SWR sweeps. Python is very much like BASIC, except that it
has object oriented features and lots of add-on graphing and utility
packages. And with computuer uP's up at 2GHZ, even an interpreted
language is extremely fast.
