This is a script that will link together a few tools in linux to do circuit simulation. The tools are GNU Octave, and the spice-2g6 circuit simulator. Octave is freely available and easy to find. Spice was distributed with RedHat-5.2. You can get spice from RedHat or any mirror site that has old distributions. If you have problems getting spice to install, try rpm --nodeps spicexxx.rpm this worked for me on a debian box and spice is running fine. You will also need to install the Term::ReadKey and Term::ANSIColor modules from CPAN. Other than these you "should" have no problems. This script is in its infancy so there is bound to be bugs. I have used it for the purposes that I will be using it for and it is working well. I hope it works well for you. Let me know. enjoy, billy bbryant@cubsmvp.com
