Can someone direct me to a PD version of SPICE on the Internet (if one exists.) C or FORTRAN is fine w/ me. thanks --chas iii charles j williams iii %% cjw106@psuvm.psu.edu %% "Power corrupts, but we Electrical Engineer %% chas@cs.psu.edu %% need electricity."

Please send me this information as well, or post it.

Spice3 Availability What is Spice? SPICE is a general purpose circuit simulator with several built-in semiconductor device models. SPICE performs several analyses, including nonlinear dc, nonlinear transient, and linear ac analysis. Device types include resistors, capacitors, inductors, mutual inductors, switches, linear and nonlinear sources, BJTs, JFETs, GaAs MESFETS, and MOSFETs. SPICE was developed by the CAD Group of the EECS Department at the University of California. Please note that Spice is _not_ public domain software. The current version of Spice is 3d2 and is written entirely in C. (Version 2g6, the last FORTRAN version, is still available). The distribution is in source form only; $250 covers the materials and handling fee. Spice was originally written at the University of California, Berkeley. Commercial derivatives of Spice also exist. Supported Systems Spice3d2 has been compiled on a variety of UNIX systems and under MS-DOS. Although previous releases have also been compiled under VMS (from DEC) and CMS (from IBM), neither system was available for testing at the time of this release. UNIX varieties that have been tested include: Ultrix 4.0, VAX and MIPS SunOs 4.0, Sun4/SPARC HP-UX 7.0, 68k AIX 3.1, RS6000 IRIX System V, Rel 3.2, SGI personal IRIS The MS-DOS version was compiled with Microsoft C v5.1 on an IBM-PC/AT Plots can be displayed via a terminal independent graphics interface (supplied with Spice3), an X11 interface (R4, R3 compatible), or Spice2-like line-printer output. New features in Spice 3d2 (since version 3c1): (Note that the last publicly released version of Spice was 3c1; version 3d1 was an internal release only). * Distortion analysis * Noise analysis * Improved Pole-Zero analysis * A new BSIM MOS model * A new analytic MOS model * Numerous bug fixes Ordering Information All orders for Spice3 must include agreement/assurance letters.

The only freely-availably version of SPICE I know if is version 2G5 for the Atari ST. It's the full version in all its Fortran glory, with documentation and a couple of examples. It needs 1MB, but doesn't need a hard disc, and is ftp-able as atari.archive.umich.edu atari/applications/spice.lzh To answer anyone who thinks it shouldn't be there here's a message that came with it: C SPICE IS AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT SIMULATION PROGRAM THAT WAS DEVE- C LOPED BY THE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS GROUP OF THE ELECTRONICS RESEARCH C LABORATORY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER C SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA. THE C PROGRAM SPICE IS AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY INTERESTED PARTY. C THE SALE, RESALE, OR USE OF THIS PROGRAM FOR PROFIT WITHOUT THE C EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING C AND COMPUTER SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, C IS FORBIDDEN. -- Chris Yearsley JANET: csx18@uk.ac.keele.seq1 USENET: csx18@seq1.keele.ac.uk

The program arrays are adjusted to require one tenth the memory of the DEC VAX version. Although this does not usually put much of a constraint on circuit analysis, some users who are used to the full mainframe environment may have to be more aware of the memory demands of their analysis. Requires a minimum of 1 MB memory. This version neither supports nor requires the 68020 processor or 68881 coprocessor. This is Amiga version 5.1, an update to version 2.3 on disk 177. Binary only.

I caught the tail-end of a discussion about an ftp-able version of SPICE for the Atari. Could someone repeat that ftp address please. Many thanks.
