IMHO, a big obstacle to widespread use of gnucap in geda related projects is missing integration with gschem. A feature to easily export a subset of the current circuit to gnucap would is critical as it significantly lowers the entry barrier. As long as this level of ease is not reached, ltspice is the most rational choice to get the job done for simple circuits. The other big issue I see, is a lack of default models for the most common analog components. As with ease of use, ltspice wins hands down at this discipline. I'd be more than happy to see progress with both these issues. > and not much open community involvement. community involvement will develop if the tool gets used by a critical amount of users. No users, no community. So, if the gnucap project is to gain momentum, it needs to concentrate on usability first. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
