There may well be a 9.08 someday, and in the meantime, we are 4 minor releases past 9.07 (which means the current source repository is at 9.07d). Small changes are still being made by myself, and I encourage others to contribute. If anyone is able to tackle this bug, send the patch to me and I'll get it into the system.

One of my students just sent me the following related to problems with a MATLAB script we use also not being able to read the output of the newer version of LTspice. This (newer version of LTspice represents characters with 2 bytes instead of 1) is likely the issue with Electric so if someone wants to use the newer version of LTspice with Electric the below might be useful (if you make the programming Java change).

If there is ever a new version of Electric, that is v. 9.08, it would be good to get the LTspice code updated so that newer version of LTspice work with Electric. Again see: http://cmosedu.com/cmos1/ltspice/ltspice_electric.htm

Best wishes, Jake.

-------------------------------------------------------
Old versions of LTSpice apparently use one byte to represent characters. The old 'readLtsRaw.m' script would therefore use this code to read from the header:

header(linenum,charnum)= fread(fid, 1, '*uint8');

The result is that when the new versions of LTSpice use two characters (UTF16?) every second character is just reading a zero and the condition checks for end of line and end of header fail. Changing the code to read two bytes fixes the issue. the corrected line is:

header(linenum,charnum)= fread(fid, 1, '*uint16');

    Very thanks Mr. Steven Rubin for your help with the netlist file
    concepts.

    Very thanks Dr. Jacob Baker for your proposal, it´s work fine.

        When they emailed directly I suggested the following.

        By putting the text for the netlist in spice code it should
        allow running it directly with LTspice but I haven't tried it.

            Sorry, but this cannot be done easily. Spice netlists
            don't have any placement information. This means you would
            have to use Electric's placement tool, which would try to
            optimize things in a rectangular grid layout, probably not
            what you want. And it's not clear that Electric can read
            this netlist, although it does have other ways of
            importing netlists, so you might have to start by
            converting the LTSpice file, a lot of trouble.

            It would be best to go to the original program that wrote
            the LTSpice netlist and see if it has some other
            interchange format that Electric could read.

            Hi everyone:
            I would like to ask you the following:
            I have a netlist file generated in LTSpice (* .net) and I
            need to load it in Electric  VLSI . My idea is not to
            make the schematic circuit in Electric VLSI again. Do you
            know how it could be done?
