It is distributed on a source-only basis by the ILP office at Berkeley.  The
person to contact is:

	Cindy Manly

Spice3 is very portable -- it runs on a wide variety of machines and operating
systems, including the IBM PC, the HP 9000 series, the VAX, several 68K boxes,
etc...

There is a policy something like that -- I'm not sure of the details, but I
think you are not allowed to export spice to Eastern-bloc countries.  It will
be spelled out in the source agreement you recieve with spice3.
