The SPICE format does have the advantage of being pretty much universal, but it is limited by a maximum of 26 device types, and isn't really appropriate for higher-level blocks. (You can have a .subckt opamp, but there's no agreement on what this will look like.) Also there's no easy way to specify how the circuit should look graphically. You need to give positions and orientations to the devices, and the routings of the nets (unless you expect the tools to figure all this out for themselves). I like the idea of EDIF better. Wayne
