It has always been fully functioning as we are working based on the
Berkeley Spice3f5 simulator.  We have been restructuring the code but
have tried to retain all functionality available in Spice3f5.

We are working with professor Newton to change the license of Spice
into one that does not conflict with GPL.  This is still ongoing.
