Another comment on gnucap .... I am thinking of having the simulator core include no models at all, not even a resistor. All models are attached as plugins. There will be a development snapshot in a day or so that makes serious use of plugins, and probably 3 new plugin libraries, mostly models that you can attach as you want, without the baggage of the ones you don't. By use of a simple wrapper, it will take Spice model code (.c files) as plugins with no changes required. It will take 3f, 3e, or ngspice format. That means it is now easier to install a Spice model in gnucap than it is to install it in Spice. Commands are plugins too. The only command that is really required to be built-in is "attach", but even "attach" can be replaced by a user, at run time.
I really like this idea as an architectural concept. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
