Abstract
We review the present status of simulations of top production and decay in the HERWIG event generator. We show the phenomenological impact of the recently-implemented matrix-element corrections to top decays for e+e- collisions at 360 GeV and discuss possible further improvements for studies of future experiments at the Linear Collider.
