Gnucap does not write NGspice raw file format.  It writes in a 
format that octave can read directly.

It seems strange to me that when there is an obvious, easy to 
read for humans, easy for a computer to read, easy to generate 
format, that everything except Spice uses ..  that Spice 
doesn't change to that format.

Every Spice variant has its own raw format.  They should all be 
thrown away.

The Spice rawfiles made sense at the beginning, but became a 
burden after a few years.  It should have been archived when 
Spice was rewritten in C.
