Is there a Linux sim. program equal to Micro Cap?

[Fr@nk]

Ie been using Micro Cap for quite some time and
lately switched to Linux. No longer use Windooz.
Is there an electronic simulation program
which is almost or equal to Micro Cap form
Spectrum Software?

Did you try running it with WINE? I don't know if it will work, but why don't
you try?

Well that's an option I considered, but want to know for sure
if there is a native Linux equivalent program.
I read that it seems to work under wine.

I don't know how it compares to Micro Cap (looks like it's not

quite there feature-wise yet) but have a look at

http://www.geda.seul.org/

Founded in 1980. Hmmm... Tell me this. How long has Spectrum
Software been using the logo at

http://www.spectrum-soft.com/index.shtm

?

now go to

http://www.evenlink.com/mdcola/index.html

Just curious. I did this page for myself and then scrapped the name
since Spectranetics is a big (?) excimer laser surgery equipment
type company. Came up with the name on my own and I designed the
logo myself too. Notice how Spectrum Software even uses the same
friggin' font?

The thing that amuses me is that I'm no longer an evenlink customer
and yet my site is still there. I can't log in to take it down or
add pages though. I'll have to call.

This should be in the FAQ. For schematic capture and netlisting, you
can use the fantastic programs offered by teh gEDA project:

http://www.geda.seul.org/

For SPICE simulation, you have several choices: ngspice, tclspice, and
Gnucap.

Ngspice is the original Linux port/rewrite of SPICE. The most recent
version is ngspice-rework-15 which you get from CVS:

http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/cvsaccess.html

I wouldn't mess around with versions 14 or below. Version 14 is very
old, and a lot has happened since it was released.

You can also use tclspice:

http://tclspice.sourceforge.net/

Both of these are command-line driven programs; no point-and-drool GUI
is available. Although I have not tried it personally, another
program to consider is Gnucap, which has larger aspirations than
simply being another Linux-based SPICE:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnucap/

Finally, as pointed out elsewhere on this thread, you can run LTSpice
very handily under wine. It works fine (I have used it); the only
problem was that the help menus didn't work. (THis was 9 months ago;
maybe they work now?)

Not yet (you'd need some Windows DLL's, methinks) but the help file can be
downloaded in .PDF format (from Linear Tech' Web site).

C'mon, Colasono. They're not THAT close
....and rainbow strata as a representation of a spectrum
--not an altogether original notion.

So what's the new d.b.a. & URL?

It's just strange how they used the same font, though I have to
admit that IMO, that font did make the best looking logo. I made 6
with different color gradients and ran them by a few artists and
other people. The results matched what I thought looked best.

So what's the new d.b.a. & URL?

I haven't settled on a new DBA - using my own name. Haven't moved

the site anywhere yet. Too many other things to do and a site isn't
going to help just now, though I'd like to get some free resources
up.
