- An inexpensive student version of SPICE for the Macintosh that is to
- be highly recommended is "B-squared Spice" from
-
- Beige Bag Software

- 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).
