I wrote that example before FEMM has the "depth" parameter included. 
Before that time, it was assumed that all results were per meter of 
length in the into-the-page direction.  For compatibility, if there is 
no depth parameter in the file, it assumes that the depth is 1 meter, in 
whatever the current units are--thus the 39.37 inches.  I will fix this 
particular example so that the depth actually comes up as 1 inch--thanks 
for pointing this out.

Dave.
