Welcome to comp.lsi.cad / comp.lsi: this is the biweekly posting of
frequently asked questions with answers. Before you post a question
such as "Where can I ftp spice from?", please make sure that the
answer is not already here. If you spot an error, or if there is any
information that you think should be included, please send us a note
at clcfaq@ece.ucdavis.edu.
This FAQ has recently been put on the Web in a much more readable
format. Though it is still under minor construction, all of the
pieces are there. Try it out at
<URL:http://www.ece.ucdavis.edu/sscrl/clcfaq/faq/faq-toc.html> and let us
know of any problems or suggestions by mailing to clcfaq@ece.ucdavis.edu.
The products and packages described here are intended for research and
educational use. As such, we try to limit our entries to applications which
are available for free or at low cost (< $500). We also wish to limit the
descriptions to at most a page (60 lines) in length.
