NAME

       input - Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program

SYNOPSIS

       input [ - h ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  input  is  one  of  a  number  of executable programs that forms part of a set of programs,
       collectively known as the Yagi-Uda project , which were designed for analysis and optimisation  of  Yagi-
       Uda  antennas.   input is an interactive program, that asks the user for information about a Yagi design,
       such as position of elements, spacing between elements, frequency span of interest and a filename to save
       the  data  to.   input  then  writes  this  information  into an ASCII file, which can be read by yagi or
       optimise The file is ASCII and it's format is easily understood by inspection (there are comments printed
       in it), so it can if necessary be edited manually.

       After  running  input and specifying a filename (for example 144e10) you should then type yagi 144e10 and
       then output 144e10 and optionally optimise 144e10

OPTIONS

       -h     Print a help message.

FILES

       filename         ASCII data file in which design is put.

PLATFORMS

       Both DOS and Unix versions have been built. The DOS version as distributed requires a 386 PC with  a  387
       maths coprocessor.

       Bugs should be reported to
       david.kirkby@onetel.net.
       Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your interest to report them in  such
       a way that they can be easily reproduced.

       If  a mistake is made during inputting of data (such as entering an incorrect length), it is not possible
       to go back and correct this. You should make a note of the error, and edit the ASCII  text  file  with  a
       text editor (vi, DOS edit etc).
