My version (8.0) allows these values to be set to any practical value.  I
set Ron to 0.1 ohm and Roff to 1e12 ohms.  Gary lau has also had some
trouble with Sbreak (can't set Von and Voff values).  I think Sbreak may
have been substatially improved in version 8.0.  You and Gary have older
versions I beleive.  It may be upgrade time!  I assume all us coilers
complained about Sbreak and they fixed it! :-))

I could upload the shareware demo version to my site for a short time.  It
is 16.4MB so I can't leave it up too long.  I will try and get it put up
tonight so anyone who wants it can get it without having to hassel with the
microsim site.  This server is supposed to be real fast and well connected
so the download should go well.  I'll post a note when I get it going.
