Due to someone sending out a 'moderate' control message for this group when it fact it wasnt moderated ( ie: mail aliases werent set up on backbone sites ), several articles destined for this group only ended up making it to my mailbox. Here they are. DONT reply to me if you intend on replying. See the signiture or From: lines in the articles. -rj ------------------------------------------- From: jwm@zippy.eecs.umich.edu (John Marshall) Newsgroups: comp.binaries.ibm.pc Subject: Re: PSPICE Demo (Part 10 of 14) Summary: please repost Date: 25 Apr 88 02:07:31 GMT References: <2607@umd5.umd.edu> Organization: University of Michigan EECS Dept., Ann Arbor Could someone please repost part 10 and also a brief description on pspice.

You post a 14-part file to the network without the least explanation about what it is!! How am I supposed to know if I want to take the time and space to download this stuff? Perhaps pspice is a well-known to some people, but I for one have never heard of it. I would appreciate it if people would be more considerate and put at least a one-sentence, if not a one-paragraph, explanation of the program. This also goes for the less program recently re-posted, and many others that I have seen. I have been involved with this newsgroup for about six months now, and I don't know what was posted two years ago, or what may have circulated to the post of common-placeness in the east or somewhere else. Give us new readers a break!!! (where's comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d when you need it???) Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head.

It is actually patterned after the Berkely Unix more, meaning that: -- you can specify multiple files and go from one to another (of dubious value) -- you can specify the input files with command-line arguments (so you don't always have to re-direct stdin) -- you can quit by typing "q" (OK, OK, I just think it's inelegant to have to type control-C to quit in MSDOS) -- if you start viewing a file and decide to edit it, you can start up an editor from less (convenient) -- you can go to a given place (by line number or percent of the file) -- you can search for a string (how do you DOSers live without that?) -- you can back up in a file (a *really* nice feature) and it has a lot of nifty display options that most people ignore.
