About xnec2c
Xnec2c is a high-performance multi-threaded electromagnetic simulation

Linux and UNIX operating systems. The original FORTRAN version of NEC2
was ported to C by Neoklis Kyriazis, 5B4AZ and released as nec2c. Later
he wrote xnec2c, a graphical interface for ease of use with many more
features.
