I'm using the real live NEC4, and one gets it by licensing it from the
University of California, Lawrence Livermore Lab, for a few hundred bucks,
assuming you are a "U.S. Person", or have an appropriate export
license. If you're interested, I can dig up the URL with all the ordering
information. It's pretty straightforward. You tell them you want it, they
send you a license agreement, you send them a check and the signed
agreement, Gerry Burke sends you a CD with the software and a paper copy of
the manual.

I happen to be using 4NEC2 as a front end. 4NEC2 has the nifty model
editor, and, in recent versions (since, perhaps, Jan 05) has support for
the NEC4 unique "cards" (like insulated wires,etc.) and can start the NEC4
engine (which, like the NEC2 engine, is just a compiled command line
FORTRAN program)
