An inexpensive student version of SPICE for the Macintosh that is to be highly recommended is "B-squared Spice" from Beige Bag Software 715 Barclay Ct., Ann Arbor MI 48105 313-663-4309 71620.3474@compuserve.com It doesn't do everything that full SPICE does, but it has the matchless advantage that it has an excellent interactive graphics circuit editor, i.e., you can wire up a circuit on the screen by dragging components out from a palette onto the screen; wiring them up with the mouse; then double-clicking on individual components to set or change their component values. You can then run dc, transient or frequency-swept responses and view the results graphically, in the same program, add or delete components, change components, drag the circuit elements around to reshape the circuit, etc. As I understand it, the program runs "real Spice" (and in fact it saves a net list which you can open as a text file), but doesn't implement all the full bells and whistles of a complete Spice program. Our students love it (and so do I).
