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  for-
       mat 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).
