I know this question has been asked previously but I never
saw any responses posted. Is there a public domain version
of spice available which will run on a Sun?

More want to know. Thanks. > This is a repost of a previous summary. Perhaps somebody will start up a 'frequently asked for sources' posting :-) (The summary has been prepared quickly leaving the text in the original format with a few minor alterations. The summary of the summary is that if you're outside the U.S., you'll have to pay some money, otherwise it's more or less free....) ------------------------------start of summary---------------------------- msg 1: SPICE is free here at Penn State. It supports a co-processor if you have one. (If you have a PC that is.) ..... The Amiga version provides SOURCE. I thought that that was what was wanted. If you want, I'll locate an FTP site that will have it. Hmmm... Let me mail you a list of FTP sites that have various Amiga stuff. msg 2: Yes SPICE is PD (sort of). The originator of spice is the U of CA (Berkeley). The latest version I have is 3C1 but they tell me that 3D1 should now be available. The note in the U of CA Dpt of EE & CS Electronics Research Lab Industrial Liaison Programme Catalogue says that the programmes are freely distributable within the US. The sticking point is that to send them outside the US you need to obtain an export license (from the Commerce Dpt). (For all I know probably an End User Certificate as well ! (-: ) When I was living in Australia I got hold of a copy from DECUS, so I think the same should be true in the UK. Problem was that the inertia of DECUS was such that they distributed an old version. Anyway for information about SPICE : Department of Electrical Engineering an Computer Science, Electronics Research Laboratory, 479 Cory Hall, University of California at Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 (415) 643-6687 You could try mailing to spice@ucbcad ucbvax!ucbcad!spice which is the mail address for bugs. I once got a reply, but not the last time I sent a bug report. (Perhaps because I sent so many at once). Of course other people sell executables of spice derivatives, many of which (most) are based on 2G6 (the old fortran version). Its nice to have the source though. msg 3: Spice is indeed PD ... it is available from UC Berkeley for a "handling fee" of US$150 (or so it was last time I checked) ... I assume other people can give it to you if they got it from them ... msg 4: The primary way of obtaining the distribution is via the EECS Industrial Liaison Program Software Office. ..... msg 5: There is an Amiga version which is PD. It is called ASPICE. It can be found on the infamous Fish disks somewhere, and is available for anonymous FTP somewhere. -------------------------------end-of-summary------------------------ Alan Thew University of Liverpool Computer Laboratory Bitnet/Earn: QQ11@LIVERPOOL.AC.UK or QQ11%UK.AC.LIVERPOOL @ UKACRL UUCP : ....!mcsun!ukc!liv!qq11 Voice: +44 51 794 3735 Internet : QQ11@LIVERPOOL.AC.UK or QQ11%LIVERPOOL.AC.UK @ NSFNET-RELAY.AC.UK
