Hi John, Terry, All -

I should point out as well that Paul is the brains behind the programs core 
functions. The post regarding the charge distribution of a toroid is a good 
example of Paul's creative and mathematical prowess. I merely interfaced 
Paul's work to Fantc and recently to Javatc. There are several aspects that 
go beyond my skills, but that's ok because it pushes me to pursue a better 
understanding of the physics and mathematical processes involved.

Take care,
Bart
