README ====== This package provides an (X)Emacs2[01] major mode for editing SPICE decks. It supports the following spice standards: Spice2g6 : Original Berkeley Spice (leave this always on!) Additional standards: Hspice (TM) : Commercial Spice, formerly Meta Software, now owned by Synopsys Eldo (TM) : Commercial Spice, formerly Anacad, now owned by Mentor Graphics EldoRf (TM) : RF Steady State analyses of Eldo (also turn on Eldo!) EldoVlogA : Verilog-A extensions to Eldo netlist language (also turn on Eldo!) FastHenry : Multipole-accelerated inductance analysis program from MIT Layla : KULeuven LAYLA (layout synthesis) extensions to Spice format Mondriaan : KULeuven MONDRIAAN (layout synthesis) extensions (also turn on Layla!) DracCDL (TM): Dracula CDL extensions (Cadence LOGLVS netlists) For installation and (site or user) customization information please consult the header of the spice-mode.el file, or consult the mode's description in emacs (for user customization only) with `C-h m'. The mode has been tested on emacs 20.7, 21.1, 21.2 and XEmacs 21.1, 21.5. CREDITS ======= The original spice-mode.el created by C. Vieri has been modified extensively. These changes have been heavily influenced by the eldo-mode.el of Emmanuel Rouat (the tempo-templates for one) and the vhdl-mode.el of Reto Zimmermann and Rodney J. Whitby (the font-locking, the customization, the menus, ...) Help in understanding 'advanced' lisp was provide by G. Debyser <geert.debyser@advalvas.be>, our (common) lisp expert. Since version 0.97 a lot of input/ideas have been provided by Emmanuel Rouat. Just take a look and search for eldo-mode throughout the spice-mode.el file ;) The test_netlist.cir file has been created by Manu and modified by Geert. The AUTHORS file contains the full names of the authors and their email addresses.
