Two executables are available for the calculations of currents, CURRENT.EXE and CURRENT_IMSL.EXE. Only Expert MININEC Broadcast Professional includes CURRENT.EXE. All other programs only offer CURRENT_IMSL.EXE. CURRENT_IMSL.EXE makes use of IMSL linear algebra solution routines. CURRENT.EXE uses Lapack solution routines that will only run on some INTEL machines. CURRENT.EXE will run somewhat faster.
