<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
18
The program <I>input</I> is one of a number of executable programs
19
that forms part of a set of programs, collectively known as
20
the <I>Yagi</I>-<I>Uda</I> <I>project</I> , which were designed for analysis and
21
optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas. <I>input</I> is an interactive
22
program, that asks the user for information about a Yagi
23
design, such as position of elements, spacing between ele-
24
ments, frequency span of interest and a filename to save the
25
data to. <I>input</I> then writes this information into an ASCII
26
file, which can be read by <I>yagi</I> or <I>optimise</I> The file is
27
ASCII and it's format is easily understood by inspection
28
(there are comments printed in it), so it can if necessary
31
After running <I>input</I> and specifying a filename (for example
32
144e10) you should then type <I>yagi</I> <I>144e10</I> and then <I>output</I>
33
<I>144e10</I> and optionally <I>optimise</I> <I>144e10</I>

Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so
69
it is in your interest to report them in such a way that
70
they can be easily reproduced.
73
If a mistake is made during inputting of data (such as
74
entering an incorrect length), it is not possible to go back
75
and correct this. You should make a note of the error, and

edit the ASCII text file with a text editor (vi, DOS edit
