;
A set of coupled eigenmode equations in a current sheet with a normal magnetic field is solved numerically for the collisional tearing mode. It is found that the normal magnetic field has a stabilizing effect. Furthermore, in the case of a very weak normal component, the classical results of Furth, Killeen, and Rosenbluth are recovered.
