Haha yeah, except I'm not sure what he says is accurate and I'm not
sure what the resistance is against a hierarchical netlister (without
workarounds like makefiles and such). Every single industry level
netlister I have ever seen does this and I have worked with plenty as
a student and now an engineer in the industry. As someone who manually
looks at netlists on a daily basis, flat netlists are very hard to
read and simulate slow in spice simulators. I'm not even sure a
makefile solution would really work anyway since flat netlisting each
cell separately in a makefile (which I assume John was talking about)
would not be able to automatically produce the subckt statements need
inside the main spice file. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks I appreciate it. I'm also in the middle of writing a
replacement for gspiceui.
