Going back to the original question.
I think geda and pcb and the simulation tools offer an opportunity to
physics, electrical, computer, and software engineering students, in
that by having the code, they can study and develop the simulation
algorithms. It is all well and good to be able to run

Depends on how new your version of PCB is. Peter's suggestion is
appropriate for recent releases since this feature was added not too
long ago. I'm running 20060822. If Dave is using an older
version, then my suggestion is appropriate.

Exactly.

My problem is that I have gnd/pwr planes that cover up traces and

You want thin draw polygons then. You'll need a CVS version, and
the lesstif GUI, until Dan adds it to the Gtk menus.
Isn't this possibly a little dangerous?

It would be interesting to try the cvs lesstif's thindraw polygons

Yup. Should be in the settings menu. Do you have a local pcb-menu.res?

Thindraw does speed up sbc.pcb to essentially lag-free.
Thindraw, or thindrawpoly?

Thindraw, or thindrawpoly?
Thindrawpoly is acceptable (I note thermals are thin-drawn) and Thindraw
is even faster, basically instant. Startup time is several seconds.

Probably the clipper then.

Again, the clipper. It seems like it has to compute all the slices at
least once at startup.
Larry,
Are you sure it is icarus or the construct itself ?
Have you tried it with e.q modelsim ?

I am still working with an older version of PCB.
Is it possible to install and run another one besides it ?
