ScanTesla 8.00 Beta Version

Hi All,

It is not quite ready for prime time, but ScanTesla 8.00 has not 
changed in many "days" now (like an 'eternity' :o))).  It seems to 
work fine.  It is the SISG PIRANHA coil's "Yoda" ;-))

Most of the old help files with some reading between the lines still 
apply fine.

Most significant change is there is now another setup file called 
control.txt that has a bunch of parameters in it.  You should 
probably adjust that file for your elevation since I am 5000 feet 
above you all :o))  I pulled a number of things in into this file so 
a minor adjustment no longer changes the whole program itself.

The program also does heavy streamer length predictions now.  Based 
on top voltage and coil energy...  The best I know how...  A few 
minor tweaks here and there...  All "leader" stuff is now "streamer" 
stuff since that is just the way it 'is', even if not technically pure ;-))

You can input a steamer strike distance and if it hits, it will 
predict the waveforms and "stuff"...  It can also do dynamic streamer 
capacitance loading if you default Cload with a negative value.

Let me know if anything sucks...

The PIRANHA's coil stuff is here for reference:
