Could some kind soul please answer my questions?
1) I read on this list that there's a new Version of SPICE
available, Version 3, written in the C language. Is the
source code of this program also available so that one
might port the program to other machines with C compilers
(esp. the powerfull/low priced new 68K machines)?
2) I heard roumors that all CAD tools/software/whatever is
considered "high technology" and *NOT* to be exported from
the US - (confirm/deny?) - does SPICE 3 also fall in that
category ?
Thank you very much

It is distributed on a source-only basis by the ILP office at Berkeley. The person to contact is: Cindy Manly ILP/ISO office 497 Cory Hall U.C. Berkeley Berkeley, Ca. 94720 (415) 643-6687 Spice3 is very portable -- it runs on a wide variety of machines and operating systems, including the IBM PC, the HP 9000 series, the VAX, several 68K boxes, etc... > 2) I heard roumors that all CAD tools/software/whatever is > considered "high technology" and *NOT* to be exported from > the US - (confirm/deny?) - does SPICE 3 also fall in that > category ? There is a policy something like that -- I'm not sure of the details, but I think you are not allowed to export spice to Eastern-bloc countries. It will be spelled out in the source agreement you recieve with spice3. Wayne
