I have a rudimentary, bug-ridden port of Berkeley Spice running under NextStep. It seems to work without crashing but is lacking in many features. It is a direct port that uses a command-line interface but supports four kinds of graphics: NestStep Graphics window, graphics terminals (such as a Tek4014), postscript hardcopy output, and ASCII graphics. However, I have also heard that Deutsch Research (415-327-8677) has a version running with a user-friendly interface similar to their MacSpice version. I don't know what he is charging but if you want a copy of my version, I can let you have it provided that you can convince me that you have a serious need for it and are prepared to tolerate its shortcomings. I did the port myself since I required it for my research but have very little time to fool around with it (and no time to support it). If I wasn't able to scare you away yet, then please send me e-mail. Also, I would desperately like to buy some GOOD software. Is anyone nearing completion of a MacDraw clone, (Draw on the NeXT is missing too much to be usable and Frame is far TOO slow and clumsy to use as well as being overkill.) I also need something like MacEqn and an outlining program for use with WriteNow. Thanks, -ron fellman (rfellman@ucsd.edu)
