It's a plugin for the development version. There are several JFET models available. It's nice of you to promote NGspice on the Gnucap list. If I did the reverse, I would get flamed for it. I don't think NGspice would solve the problems though. It might help a little from a beginners perspective, because gnetlist and gspiceui were really written for NGspice. Also, from a beginners perspective, Gnucap's plugin system is an extra thing to deal with that you may not want now. The real problem here is that the gschem-gnetlist-gnucap flow doesn't work well, and it is mostly gnetlist at fault. The gschem-gnetlist-ngspice flow doesn't work really well either. In the spirit of recomending something else ... In this case I recommend looking at "Qucs". Qucs is a good beginner simulator for small circuits. I have only been able to do really simple things with Qucs, but it may be exactly what you need. _______________________________________________ Help-gnucap mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnucap
