Re: gEDA-user: Which software for simulation?

["cfk" <cfk@pacbell.net>]

Carlos, near as I can tell, its tclspice, which is a minor variation on
ngspice with some additional Tcl/Tk features. I am currently running it
under Magic on two of my systems as I get used to it. The key author is
Stefan Jones and this is a snippet of an email he sent me at this group a
couple of weeks ago:

This is a known bug in ngspice-rework-14. It has been fixed in CVS and
in my tclspice distobution (http://www.sf.net/projects/rtwo).
Spice crashes a bsim model is not found.

I don't know about the tests, to my detriment I don't use / touch them.
