Re: [ng-spice] Readline Response
Let me suggest another avenue, for simulator code base.
There's a simulator which has been "donated" to the geda
project, acs (Al's Circuit Simulator). The "Al" in question
is active on the geda list. The simulator has been around (as
a project of his, net-available) for a while. It's said to
be a clean, ground-up C++ development, not just a rewrite.
What this simulator seems to lack is support for many of
the intrinsic models (i.e. there are MOS and diodes, but
no BJT, etc. I'm not clear on whether Al has placed it under
GPL or is just putting out snapshots but keeping property;
can't hurt to check it out.
Anyway, if Berkely is insistent that SPICE3 remain locked up
and dying, maybe it's time to switch horses before everyone
has too much personal investment, and work on making acs
SPICE3 compatible (full device & syntax support) instead.
