    Wcalc is a tool for the analysis and synthesis of transmission line structures and
    related components.  Wcalc provides the ability to analyze the electrical parameters
    of a particular structure based on the physical dimensions and material parameters.
    The synthesis portion calculates the required physical parameters to meet desired
    electrical specifications.  Wcalc includes several models and places an emphasis on
    accuracy.  Several frontends provide the user with several options for its use.

    Models include:

     - single layer solenoid inductor
     - single microstrip and stripline
     - coupled microstrip
     - metal-insulator-semiconductor microstrip
     - coaxial cable

    Frontends include:

     - gtk gui
     - web (cgi)
     - scilab
     - octave
     - matlab
     - stdio

    See the file INSTALL for building and installation instructions.
