It's last release dates to feb 1999. The home site is
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gsl/ may be the development has been

Ok, I was writing about the new simulator, the one we should write. 
On December 15th, I have a meeting with Alberto Sangiovanni Vincentelli
here in Rome for a lecture he will hold at my university on Spice and
simulation in the first months of the 2000, I can try to ask him about
this, but I think I will get a negative answer.

Wow, I will simply add it as a new subdirectory and delete the ng-spice
repository, the old branch. 

I would like to ask you something on the bug fix from Al Davis. The
same parameter seems wrong in bsim2 too, but I am not sure whether to
cange it or not, I would like to have other opinions.
