You might want to check out gnucap.org, and gnucap's own email lists. NGspice and gnucap are very different. NGspice is locked into tradition. It's spice-3 with updates. There are no real core changes, but if a new model comes out they will add it. The latest is available only by CVS. Gnucap breaks from tradition, and is trying to take the lead. Play with the stable version to get started, then switch to the development version for neat new stuff. The plugin system means that gnucap can have the new models sometimes within hours of their public release. Development snapshots come out about monthly. Stable versions come out when things settle, roughly every year or two. For now, there is a big difference between the stable and development versions. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
