Greg I'm not sure why you're posting this. Since you've not provided any meaningful information, I'd have to assume that you are advertising/marketing yourself, or this EM solver that cannot be mentioned by name. If you are going to advertise/market in this way, please at least have the decency to provide some information that could further the discussion and might be helpful to designers.
