You have to be very careful with internet freeware "programs". 
While intended to be helpful, they are so simple they overlook 
many many important things.

I've tried to compare results using programs from the site you listed 
with real-world results on simple things, like inductor Q, and they 
are a "mile off" the actual results. In one case Q was five times 
higher than the Q I actually measured!
