Four in private (on 14, 17, 19, and 23 Apr), and the one on the list.


A few first questions about xspice:

Is the repository at http://epilitimus.com/git_repos/xspice.git the latest 
version?  Are there any other resources I need to consider?  It looks to 
me like I'm missing something.  The web page is mentioning libs/ and 
symbols/ subdirectories, but they don't appear to be in the repository. 
Also, it mentions XML files, but I couldn't find any.

I don't know much about spice, so please bear with me if this question is 
stupid:  Your backend is called "xspice", but in the example, the resulting 
.cir file is further processed with ngspice.  Is this temporary, specific 
to the test, an oversight, or is "x" really a placeholder for "any of the 
derivatives"?

Also, what does "convert non spice native devices in to the corresponding 
spice models and subcircuits to be usable in ngspice" mean?
