Al's Circuit Simulator 0.21, updated 03/30/96
ACS is a general purpose circuit simulator. It performs nonlinear dc and transient analyses, fourier analysis, and ac analysis linearized at an operating point. It is fully interactive and command driven. It can also be run in batch mode or as a server. The output is produced as it simulates. Spice compatible models for the MOSFET (level 1, 2 and 3) and diode are included in this release.
This version (0.21) is still a transitional release to C++. The most important change since 0.20 is conformance with new standards, so it compiles on g++ 2.7.

Title: SPICECAD
Version: 1.0
Description: SPICECAD is a schematic entry for the anlog simulator
SPICE3f4/5. It allows graphical entry of electric circuits,
generation of netlists , simulation of these netlists,
and backannotation of the results. All SPICE3 devices
are supported. Additional simulation types are
monte-carlo, parametric sweep and circuit
optimization. The design can be hierarchical.

I obtained the source code for Spice from a 386BSD ftp site. The code compiled cleanly, with only minor changes to the Makefile being required. I also included an ASCII spice manual which I have found helpful.
You can ftp version 6.3 for Windows from the site ftp.microsim.com in directory / and files:

Pet peeve: I wish they would get a mirror... you'll see why... [hint:be ready to do dinner while downloading].
I have updated my Spice32 / Nutmeg32 for Windows 3.1. It is now up to Berkeley's 3f4 level and supports copy to clipboard of enhanced meta files. These are limited to 32 nodes, which satisfies my anxiety with regard to the DOD export restrictions.
The price is $295.00 for the unlimited version and $99.00 for a 120 node version, $1000 for a site license.

If any of you use spice3, you no doubt have had noticed the low, low quality of hardcopy plots (I am talking about the ones resulting from running under Xwindows, not the chararacter plots).
Well I did, and so I sat down and wrote a filter to make spice3 'print' statement outputs suitable for input to xgraph. Which in turn makes really nice graphs which you can also include in latex documents if you want.

Micro-Cap V is an integrated schematic editor and analog/digital simulator that provides an interactive sketch and simulate environment for electronics engineers. Micro-Cap V, the fifth generation of the Micro-Cap family, blends a modern, Windows-based user interface with the robust and powerful numerical algorithms of SPICE and a fast, native, PSpice-compatible, digital simulator. The result is the most powerful and easiest to use circuit simulator available for personal computers. Micro-Cap V is affordable as well, available at less than half the cost of comparable programs.
Windows 3.1, Windows NT, or Windows 95 working-DEMO 1.4MB
The demo is contained in a .ZIP file. PKUNZIP this file, and then run the SETUP.EXE file under Windows 3.1, Windows NT, or Windows 95. During the installation, it will request a Disk 2. When this prompt comes up, just hit Enter. If you want to transfer the unzipped files over to floppy disks, all of the files go on Disk 1 except for the file MC5.2 which goes on Disk 2.
You may also Request MC5 Demo Documentation to be sent in the [surface] mail.
