Hi all,

I hope that you have spent nice holidays. Last ngspice release is the 
rework13, released in November 2000 (too muche time ago, for ngspice
standards ;-)). Rework-13 suffers from bugs introduced trying to correct
arroneous memory handling in the file varialbe.c. The code in the CVS has
been corrected, but some bugs still resists, as the noise bug appeared on
this list. 


Now on the output format issue:

I agree with the opinions expressed on the list, to revert the output
format to the original one, since the pspice raw format may violate 
copyright and most postprocessing tools written around spice expect the
original format. I agree with the idea to write a converter (or see if
a such piece of software is already available). 

What I would like to leave in code is the branch currents "hack".

Wait for your opinions
Paolo
