Hi everybody,

I have been following the list from the sidelines lately as I have been busy
writing some computer software that may be of benefit to you all. But before
I continue I need to throw some thoughts out there to get some feed back.

Firstly, I will make this program freely available to everybody but need a
little input as to what other Tesla coil builders really want to see in a
software program. I don't want to make just another calculator program but
rather and enhanced application with usefull data and other features. This
is where I need the help of you people. 

At the moment I have been working on the calculation side trying to provide
as much flexibility for the user as possible. In connection with this I am
using the traditional Medhurst, Wheeler etc.. formulae, however there may be
people with a lot more experience than myself that have come across better
formulae for some of these applications, or have found shortcomings in these
old formulae.

In addition to the calculations, It would be nice to get some fresh ideas on
what people REALLY want to do with a Tesla Coil design program and how they
would like to see it done. So please don't be shy (like that's possible!!).
Now is your chance to get in on the act. 

The software is being written for Windows 3.1, 95 and NT. Graphics and
photos are a must. 

Thanks very much and I will keep you informed.
