Hi Ken,

You want MicroSim PSpice A/D.

The newer 9.1 version (the BIG 27 megabyte one) is a little better and I
have grown to like it more.  But they both work well.

Microsim looks a little scarry at first but you catch on fast just by
playing with it.  You want to start out in "schematics" where all the fun is.

Cheers,

	Terry
