Inca can be used to model many e-field problems that come up in Tesla
Coiling, including multi-ring toroids. Ring toroids take advantage of
multi-conductor E-field "smoothing" - the surface E-field for a set of
rings (or wire bundles in electrical power transmission) much lower than
for an isolated ring. The presence of nearby elements significantly
lowers the surface E-field, making it "look" like the E-field from a
larger diameter object. A discussion about using Inca and a useful
spreadsheet for modeling ring toroids can be found in the List archives
in the thread "Thumpers Toroid - general ring-toroid modeling":

Yes, That was the one I was thinking of, a quick scan of his site
and I haven't found anything though.
Any clues anyone?

Derek,
I think there was something (a program) on Antonio Queiroz's site?
Anyway I
downloaded something a while back that showed the e-field around a
toroid,
but name and a certain web location are now lost. From what I remember
the
learning curve was a bit too steep for me.
It was not aimed at tesla coils, but electric fields in general.
