Hi Terry & All! 
        This is something that would probably only occur to someone like me, 
who has more computer time than a real life ;-)). I have run one of my coils 
through the ETesla6.exe (not the c version) many times, using different grid 
sizes. Although all the answers are close to each other, they seem to 
converge cyclically to a logarithmic line, rather than converging to a fixed 
value. This would indicate that generally, but not absolutely, the larger the 
grid size, the higher the predicted frequency. I suspect it is all due to the 
fact that any finite-precision computer doing a giga-gazillion calculations, 
will have some bits falling into the bucket along the way. 
          Since the difference between a grid of 100 and one of 700 is only 
1.5%, it's an interesting phenomenon, but actually it's a verification that 
you DO have a pretty darn stable program. I would have to agree with Pogo: 
"It don't hardly make no difference no way at all to practical folks".
