Gnucap is in transition.

Now:  
Accepts Spice syntax netlists, some HSPICE style extensions, 
some other extensions.  Lacks a few components.

Future: 
Format is determined by a plugin.  The structural subset of 
Verilog-AMS and VHDL-AMS, and a general form of Spice will be 
available.  The use of plugins enhances backward compatibility, 
because there can be many of them, even for obscure formats.

Longer future:
Specific Spice variants can be made, for exact compatibility 
with variants of Spice.
Since the format is determined in a plug-in, direct support for 
many other formats is likely.



If you give it a try, and let me know what you think, you can 
influence the direction and make it much better.  Getting 
feedback from users now is important to me.

I want you to tell me what you want, not restricted by what you 
have now or what you think you can get.  You may be surprised 
how easy it is to give you what you thought was impossible.
