-------------------------------------------------------------------

The program requires the following programs :

spice (spice3f4, ng-spice)
gschem
gnetlist
xterm


QUICK and DIRTY DOCUMENTATION.

You can set the location of spice by setting the
EASY_SPICE_BIN environnement variable. By default, It will use the
$PATH environment variable.

The path can be choosen in the Options command windows

-----------------------------
IMPORTANT!!!

Start the program in a directory without a & at the end of the command
line. The best thing to do is to create a small script which call the
exe in a xterm without the & like this:

#!/bin/bash

#export EASY_SPICE_BIN="spice3f4"

xterm -iconic -e /usr/local/easy_spice/bin/easy_spice $1


----------------------------


You can append a project name after easy_spice : 
easy_spice toto
toto is the name of the project and all the file generated (netlist
.net, spice file .cir will use this name).

Edit a schematic, create the netlist using the buttons of the main
window and do the spice analysis. (spice is run in batch mode and the
result can be plot using the menu window->plot results).


A .include can be inserted in the netlist by using the menu Options->
library. 

The field entries (fmin, fmax, name of the library, post processing data) can
be saved for a next session using the menu file-> save project.

That's all
