Good to see you on the list!  ;-)

I have nothing of value to say about using gEDA on the Mac, although
others in here certainly do.

As for general SPICE materials, I suggest that you simply Google on
"spice tutorial" -- there are zillions of tutorials covering the
basics of what SPICE is and what it does on the web.

As for using SPICE in the context of gEDA & related projects, there is
this nice tutorial on geda.seul.org:

http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:ngspice_and_gschem

There's also my hoary old document available here:

http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/SPICE/intro.html

Finally, don't forget that the gEDA Project has two participating
analog circuit simulators:  ngspice and gnucap.

Ngspice is a clean-up and port to GNU/Linux of the original SPICE
which came out of Berkeley.  Here's the web page:

http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/

Gnucap is a second-generation circuit simulator with better solving
algorithms and more advanced capabilities.  It also reads files
written in traditional SPICE format.  Here's the web page:

http://gnucap.org/

(I believe you're better off grabbing and using the latest gnucap
snapshot rather than the 0.35 release, right Al?)

Cheers,

Stuart
