At this time the people working on a graphical interface are either on
holidays or studying for their exams. Daniele P. is working on it. He is
developinga graphical interface (Dan ?) which should talk with the

I have put it in the TODO list.

Spice already have scripting capabilites, it's interactive interface is
built uopn a c-shell and you can start it with a control file". Can you be
more specific ?
