EZNEC is $89 (?) and user friendly better GUI, has a free demo version 
useful in a lot of cases

You finally figured that out after being told how many times now?

But, like everything else, you are wrong about the price.

It is $99 for EZNEC and $149 for EZNEC+, which has more features.

There is a Pro version that requires you have a valid NEC-4 license from
the University of California (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).

There is also the AutoEZ application (not free) that allows you to
define an antenna as variable and equations.

$149 + $79, actually not that expensive

here is a link to rolling off (phase variation) the edge of a parabolic 
antenna to reduce backlobe:     (1969)

https://www.google.com/patents/US3599219

so on C band the outter 4 inches at the edge are intentionally bent back 
on modern dishes, not to follow a parabolic, to avoid diffraction adding 
in phase at the backlobe.
(Kraus has a lot on parabolics in his "Radio Astronomy" book -may have 
been limited # of copies of it (?)- the book to have for doing your own 
radio astronomy, shows what happens to the pattern if your want to focus 
a degree or two off axis)

There is nothing that is "$149 + $79"; wrong again.

You are a babbling idiot with no understanding of basic RF no matter
how many links you dredge up.
