2003-02-01Update to atlc-4.2.10dmcmahill3-43/+133
Many improvements such as support for mixed dielectric systems and several bitmap generators for common structures to allow quick application of the tool. Several bug fixes as well. Voltages outside a shield are set to zero which fixes a reported result in older versions. Many other improvemnts and bug fixes are listed in the ChangeLog in the distfile.

------ Atlc is a finite difference programme that is used to calculate the properties of a two-conductor electrical transmission line of arbitrary cross section. It is used whenever there are no analytical formula known, yet you still require an answer. It can calculate: The impedance Zo (in Ohms) The capacitance per unit length (pF/m) The inductance per unit length (nF/m) The velocity of propogation v (m/s) The velocity factor, v/c, which is dimensionless. A bitmap file (usually with the extension .bmp or .BMP) of the cross section of the transmission line is drawn in a graphics package such as The Gimp and then analyzed using Atlc.
