OK.   I'll look at the scheme code for that.

Do you mean, should be
electrical B ;
electrical GND ;
?

Can models like cap-va.va be in separate files, or should they be in the same file as the rest of the netlist?
It seems including those files in the netlist might be simplifying, but would need more scheme coding now, and
copying them as files is easy but might make clutter...  make clean could clean up the clutter.

It looks like the \'s in the gnetlist -g verilog output are not wanted, is that correct?
Also, all should be on one line again...
#(.c(1u)) is completely missing as the verilog scheme code is now...

Can the device model below fit in as is?

module cap (p, n);
     (* desc="Capacitance", units="Farads" *)
     parameter real c=0 from [0:inf);
     inout p, n;
     electrical p, n;

     analog
	I(p,n) <+ c * ddt(V(p,n));
endmodule

Yes.  Saw that in the verilog-ams lang. ref. manual.
