[TowerTalk] nec4.2 bug was Re: Important Information About EZNEC

[Haring family]

Jim,

I looked also... you sent updates thru 5.0. His site says that updates for
Pro are on a URL that's with your CD (I think that's what he said...)
anyway, I didn't find the URL for updates to Pro. And can't check because
I'm running 6.0+.

regards,

Dave N3AC
