Title:    SPICECAD
Version:  1.7.10
Entered-date: 10 Oct  1999
Description:    SPICECAD is a schematic entry for the anlog simulator
                SPICE3f4/5. It allows graphical entry of electric circuits,
                generation of netlists , simulation of these netlists,
                and backannotation of the results.  
                 
                All SPICE3 devices
                are supported. Additional simulation types are
                monte-carlo, parametric sweep and circuit
                optimization. The design can be hierarchical.
                The BSIM3v3 model is included.
                SPICECAD is hard-linked, which means, you do not need
                a GNUPLOT or a SPICE3 binary.
                HSPICE , ADM and TITAN binaries, the other supported 
                simulation engines, have to be purchased from 
                the vendor (HSPICE, also known as Star-HSPICE from
                Avanti www.avanticorp.com , TITAN  from SIEMENS).
                SPICECAD is splitted into several files.
                One file contains the binary , one contains the
                documentation and example files.  


                I have created a WEB-page
                which I hope answers all further questions.

                Please look at

                http://home.t-online.de/home/martin.maschmann/

                There, you will find actual links where you can download
                the recent version of the SPICECAD manual (updates very often)
                and the recent version of SPICECAD for SUN computers.
                You will also find some  explanations what SPICECAD is
                and how it looks like.
                
                The source code of SPICECAD was not made available.
                Customizing SPICECAD for your own needs means: send me a 
                mail which  explains the problem, and then I can tell you 
                whether I will do it by  myself (because there could be a 
                wide need for this new feature), or whether you can do it by 
                yourself with a workaround.

                For example, if you want to create an interface for a new 
                simulator (a PSPICE interface is still missing), I can send 
                you several example files (the interface for HSPICE), and 
                you write the interface. Finally , everything can be linked.

                Those who want to add some features I cannot write (because 
                my programming skills and time is limited) can obtain the
                source code on a CD ROM. What I am thinking of is an EDIF 
                interface. This would be a very nice feature.
