"I" forgot that there was a "new version" too ;-))  Bart re-wrote this 
latest version using Paul's latest data, so I only spent a few seconds 
posting it at:

I don't think I even have a C compiler on-line anywhere right now :0D

I should mention that although I spent zillions of hours writing the 
"original" E-Tesla and making it "work", the program an it's techniques 
have far gotten out of "my" hands as others have improved it!!!!  I barely 
recognize it now ;-)))  Bart and Paul have truly taken it all to a vast new 
level!!!

Cheers,

         Terry
