- Spice 2g6 is a circuit simulator. This version requires a 386 AND 387 math
- coprocessor. It does not work on D.J.Delorie's 387 emulator. However because
- it uses D.J.Delorie's go32 dos extender, it can use up to 128 Mega bytes of
- RAM, or do swapping.
-
- To execute, type:
- go32 spice
-
- To run it independently, concatenate go32.exe with spice, e.g.
-
- copy /b go32.exe+spice spice.exe
-
- Supported Wares:
-
- * Up to 128M of extended (not expanded) memory
- * Up to 128M of disk space used for swapping
- * SuperVGA 256-color mode up to 1024x768
- (needs DJ Delorie's drivers)
- * 80387
- * XMS & VDISK memory allocation strategies
-
- Unsupported:
-
- * V86 programs, like QEMM, 386MAX, DesqView, Windows/386, etc.
-
- This is spice 2g6 as originally written in fortran by University of California
- Berkeley. I translated it to C using f2c distributed by Free Software
- Foundation but originally from AT&T. The fortran to C conversion is done using
- a 386bsd OS, the f2c libraries and spice sources are compile,archived and
- sorted using a gcc-1.39 running on a 386bsd.
- The changes major made are only in unix.c to enable it to use time() instead
- of times() for measuring time.
