Topband: "4nec2" Antenna Modeling

Good Day All,

I'm a complete & utterly hopeless newcomer when it comes to computerized
antenna modeling...

I was steered in the direction of a free online programme called "4nec2" by
one who is well-versed in this sort of stuff, and I availed myself of the
opportunity of downloading it onto my computer here...

My question is simply this: WHERE AND/OR HOW DOES ONE EVEN BEGIN TO USE THIS
PROGRAMME...?

Physically measuring & erecting a dipole at midnight in the midst of a
southern Ontario winter blizzard is FAR easier than using this
gooble-dee-goop. I really AM trying to embrace new technology, but so far
it's NOT reciprocating...! Hi Hi.

Are there any experienced users of 4nec2 out there reading this...? If so,
how steep is the learning curve...?

Many thanks for any & all tips & encouragement in this regard...
