Stuart, I agree that we need a "done job" attitude to many things. Hackers tend to be more into adding cool features than to stream-line tools for actual work. That doesn't really help to make the tools becoming mainstream. In an EDA concept I think the lack of tool chain / work flow view of a complete job is really mandatory in order to adapt each tool to fit in. Let's see what we can do to even out the bumps. The gschem->spice-simulation bumps is annoying, hey the way I get my models and hang them in is a big bump. I would like to have a big lump of spice models packetized so they just go in when I install gnucap. > Moving forward, I should probably include a blurb about Gnucap in the > HOWTO.

But it is now on the "to do" list. Don't waste the time. Install gnucap, look at the manual. I think you will find that it's not that different of an anmial for you not to be able to use it fairly quickly. The gschem->GnuCAP link should be working well in the best of the worlds.
