Hi Bernard

Nice program!

I'd like to suggest an addition. I use this simplified formula in the Solver App to synthesise microstrip width W:
Z=(87/√(E+1.41))*LN((5.98*H/(0.8*W+T)))
It works well and is quite accurate and can also be use for analysis by setting a width W and solving for Z
The equation is given in IPC-2141 and is described here:

This could be a nice future addition to your program.

For those interested the addition suggested by Steve exist on its own.
Check MICROSTRIP.hpprgm.
