Electronics software

[José Luis Gómez Dans <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

Hi!
	I recall that some time ago, someone showed an interest in
Electronics CAD software. I have found another brilliant circuit
simulator: aplac. Aplac is the circuit simulator that Nokia uses for all
their design (it's very much their baby). They have an evaluation
version which is similar to PSpice's (of MS Win fame): only a handful of
components and all that. It must be said that aplac is superb, not being
based on spice, it "suffers" from a far more robust circuit input
mechanism (it's even object oriented!), and it's, well... top of the
pops! Try <http://www.aplac.hut.fi/aplac>

	I have played around with this software in the past (on an HP-UX
box) and I thought it was quite impressive. Apart from that, some chaps
are putting together a GTK front-end for Spice, oregano. It's available
as a debian package, but it is extremely alpha (it only supports
transient analysis). It looks good, though!

	Regards,
	José
