I noticed that the text was missing from my post in the archives so I thought I'd better post this again. I apologise if you guys are getting this twice but just in case...

I believe I've followed all of the instructions and syntax correctly but the simulator still spits out: "Error on line 4: i1 neti1_1 0 dc 0 wl( file=h:\electronics\promburner\fipwl.pwl ) No such parameter on this device" Protel creates the SPICE netlist ok and if I delete the file from the databases directory or make a mistake in the layout of the *.pwl file protel generates an error while creating the netlist. The problem appears to be that the SPICE engine only accepts paramater pwl (time/value...) and not ( file=...). If I copy the values from the file (256 time/value pairs) and paste them into the netlist it works ok. Is this a bug in the schematic to SPICE netlist genaration or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever.
