A comparison of linear growth rates and eigenfunctions for tearing modes resonant at the q = 2 surface is made for simulations based on the initial value codes NIMROD and FAR for S = 1.35(10{sup 3}), S = 1.35(10{sup 4}), and S = 1.35(10{sup 5}). Very good agreement for both growth rates and eigenfunctions between the two codes is indicated
