4Nec2 supports current sources, as well as surface/ground wave modeling --
as has been discussed here in past weeks and should be of importance to
topbanders.
It may be worth having a look at the most recent versions of the 4Nec2
software.

I recently looked at 4nec2. Correct me if I am
missing something, but this software cannot do
many important extensions to the NEC engine that
EZNEC does, such as current sources. The lack
of current sources is sufficient to rule out
4nec2 for me. There are many other deficiencies
in 4nec2. It really makes EZNEC look good.
