Hello, After a 10 hour marathon, I managed to compile spice 3d2 on the apollos running Domain/OS 10.3.4. The major problem was that spice includes <math.h> many times and Domain/OS does not protect it. All the rest of the problems were valid bugs that were caught by the compiler. One of the most important bugs was in the BSIM1 model, where the routine DFnF12() was called with 6 fewer parameters than needed! (in BSIM1disto.c) Other bug fixes include: o X11 R3/R4 portability [and x fixes] o Incorrect ANSI prototype fixes. o Incorrect declarations of the form *name[SIZE] when name[SIZE] is needed. (name was used as a buffer in sprintf() calls!) o Other parser related bugs. type edit` and see spice core-dump. All the patches can be found on tesla.ee.cornell.edu:/pub/cad/spice3d2.patch.Z christos -- Christos Zoulas | 389 Theory Center, Electrical Engineering, christos@ee.cornell.edu | Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853. christos@crnlee.bitnet | Phone: (607) 255 0302, Fax: (607) 255 9072

A few weeks ago, a SPICE maintainer wrote me that 3e2 was available, so I asked the SW distribution person for it. Unfortunately, they sent me 3e1. :( Would someone please provide diffs (in patch-readable form) between 3d2 and 3e2 and 3e1 and 3e2 I realize there are restrictions on the distribution of the source-code, but I'm hoping that providing diffs to the general public, or at least to bona-fide licensed user like myself, is allowable. Or, if you have 3e2, and I can prove that I am licensed, would you be kind enough to let me ftp it? Or, is there a still newer release that I don't know about.

As much as I hate it, I'd like to add a "me too" to this request.
Perhaps it's time to start a Spice-maintainers mailing list like the
lists that exist for other CAD tools?
