: Ie been using Micro Cap for quite some time and
: lately switched to Linux. No longer use Windooz.
: Is there an electronic simulation program
: which is almost or equal to Micro Cap form
: Spectrum Software?
This should be in the FAQ. For schematic capture and netlisting, you
can use the fantastic programs offered by teh gEDA project:
http://www.geda.seul.org/
For SPICE simulation, you have several choices: ngspice, tclspice, and
Gnucap.
Ngspice is the original Linux port/rewrite of SPICE. The most recent
version is ngspice-rework-15 which you get from CVS:
http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/cvsaccess.html
I wouldn't mess around with versions 14 or below. Version 14 is very
old, and a lot has happened since it was released.
You can also use tclspice:
http://tclspice.sourceforge.net/
Both of these are command-line driven programs; no point-and-drool GUI
is available. Although I have not tried it personally, another
program to consider is Gnucap, which has larger aspirations than
simply being another Linux-based SPICE:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnucap/
Finally, as pointed out elsewhere on this thread, you can run LTSpice
very handily under wine. It works fine (I have used it); the only
problem was that the help menus didn't work. (THis was 9 months ago;
maybe they work now?)
