    Dave,
    Hmmmm. Never thought of that. Didn't know you could do it
    that way. I guess there is quite a bit still to learn about FEMM.
    That is one advantage you have being the author of the program.
    It is hard for me to know all the little tricks that can be used.

    Thanks for the tip.
