- fixes a bug in the cgi frontend for coupled microstrip which caused
lots of bad warning messages.
- replaces the alert dialog box with a log window which prevents multiple
alert windows from appearing.
- Replaced #defined with #none for EXTRACT_ONLY.
- Replaced #defined with yes for NO_BUILD, NO_CONFIGURE, NO_MTREE.
- Removed NO_CHECKSUM completely, as a distinfo file exists, it has the
correct checksums, and I couldn't find even a hint to why NO_CHECKSUM
was set.
Wcalc is a transmission line analysis and synthesis tool. Several
structures including air core solenoid inductors, coaxial cable,
single and coupled microstrip, stripline, and metal-insulator-
semiconductor microstrip are included.
Wcalc can analyze the electrical parameters for a given physical
description of the structure or synthesize the required dimensions
to meet certain desired electrical characteristics.
Wcalc provides several different frontends for accessing the numeric
engine. Currently, there is a GTK based standalone graphical
user interface, a common gateway interface (CGI) for web access,
Scilab, Octave, and Matlab interfaces for maximum flexibility within
a scientific programming environment, and a standard input/output
(stdio) interface which allows a simple interface to other 3rd
party tools which can communicate via a pipe.
The different frontends are installed as different packages for
flexibility in deployment.
