[] The PSPICE Demo Distribution from MicroSim has been posted in comp.binaries.ibm.pc. It is a 14 part (!) UUencoded ARC file.

Dear NetLanders, Why would anybody post a huge Demo program to a newsgroup that is distributed all over the world. I know that usually companies pay a lot of money for these ads, most will mail you a free disk, and these people are getting this free ride. Well, is not really free because others are paying it. Let's not jam the Net with these things it is already experiencing a high traffic. I don't think posing any demo is beneficial except for the company. -Abdullah

I'm not familiar with PSPICE and am not inclined to patch together a 14 part file just so I can uudecode it and find out if I'm interested.

Thank you for that information----but while you were at it, with such a massive posting--couldn't you have told us what this is? Forrest Gehrke

I must be one of the unfortunate uninformed. What the heck is PSPICE and why would I want to save 14 parts, edit out the headers, concatenate the files, download one massive file, uudecode it, and then unarc it? What is this posting? What does it do? All I can assume is anything posted without any information as to what it is should be considered a hard disc scrambler until proven otherwise! (Not paranoid, just lucky so far.)

PSPICE is a commercial circuit simulator, one of the may spinoffs (derivatives) of the UC Berkeley's Spice circuit simulator. The actual product PSPICE is of course proprietary, but I'm sure MicroSim would love to see their demo program distributed as widely as possible. There was a brief discussion about PSPICE on sci.electronics, but I suppose Chris simply forgot that the IBM PC readers don't all read the other group. -- George J Wu UUCP: {ihnp4,ulysses,cbosgd,allegra}!clyde!gwu ARPA: gwu%clyde.att.com@rutgers.edu or gwu@faraday.ece.cmu.edu
