Hi Robert,

The code that defines the voltage along a coil and its shape are simple 
point voltage setups.  By modifying the code, E-Tesla could do any coil 
form as long as it is symmetrical about a cylindrical axis.  The program 
can do any form since the relaxation matrix does not care about shape but 
rather predefined boundary conditions.  The C-source code is included in 
the zip file and it should recompile on any C compiler (simple code).  The 
code is free, non copyright, public domain and all that.  So anyone can do 
with it as they please.

I seem to remember that FANTC can do more arbitrary coil shapes?  But I am 
not sure about that.

Cheers,

         Terry
