One example that I tried (the company was trying to sell it to me) was probably one of the most unstable packages I have ever used - I presume it's better now. But the best I have ever used ran on a UNIX platform under X-windows and was written in Fortran!. FEMM is certainly one of the most reliable Windows applications around - and if it isn't Dave can usually fix it!`
