The next thing to ask them is to add is all of the publicly
available
device models. I understand that there may be some
"redistribution issues" until the providers wake up.


Just download them yourself.

...Jim Thompson

Part of the concept here is that they do it once per three months,
using maybe 50 hours, rather than you, me the other Jim, both Johns,
Win, Vlad, Joerg, Jan, Ken, Phil, Tim W, Sphero, and a shitpot full
of others each doing the same at the same frequency. And it is not
the download time so much as the search time.

My point was that, for LTspice to do the distribution, they'd need
copyright authorization, while none is required for an individual
download.

...Jim Thompson

Hmmmm. I thought spice was redistributable under the BSD license.
After all, it is not called Berkeley SPICE for nothing.

I thought we were talking about device MODELS?

Berkeley Spice ain't LTspice, or PSpice, or whatever.

If that is the SLED i suspect it is it will include gEDA and friends
(GAF) as an optional install.


I have no idea yet. Because of my notoriety I have all kinds of
simulator vendors wanting me to try (and endorse) their version ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Hi Jim,
Well, I know that one vendor no longer has anyone around you can bug for
help... ;-)

Charlie


It does not follow that I will not bug you anyway ;-)

...Jim Thompson

True, but you won't be bugging 'that' vendor!

Charlie -- you retired from Cadence? Wow... you should write a book -- or at
least a web page -- about your experiences there. :)
Can't really say, just caught in the latest RIF, not retired. Anyone
know of a good position where you can telecommute? Not a lot of
electronic engineering here in the middle of nowhere... ;-)

Don't know about telecommuting. It seems most want more control than
that, but you might get lucky. I posted my resume on Monster last
summer and got a job in a matter of days (less than a month between
posting the resume and start). I did no active looking, mostly
because I wasn't all that interested in working. ;-) The job started
out as only a 3-month contract position in another state, but they
paid a premium for that, and they're still paying (for another six,
anyway). ;-)

I had good luck with Monster, anyway. I got a pile of calls and
several phone interviews in the first few weeks. I still get a couple
of calls a month but have to tell them I'm spoken for until at least
May. ...works for me.

Hmmmm...
Might try Monster if my 3-4 other leads don't pan out. I know last time
(10 years ago) it didn't help much...

Do. I liked the experience enough that I may stay a contractor.
After working for the same company for 30+ years, it's rather nice
to just do the engineering and screw the politics. ...though I'm
getting sucked into the politics anyway. :-(

Presumably blaming the contractor is even more attractive than blaming fellow
employees! :)

No, actually it's the other way 'round. The contractor found a
pile-o-errors in a widget already late for the fab. Fix 'em now or
fix 'em later. I don't much care, but later makes me more money.
