Hi Steve,

I did as follows:
- opened the schematic editor
- copied an existing component (i.e. a SYMBOL) into a new one named
"thors"
- stripped all but four pins from it
- renamed them to N1, N2, N3 and N4
- edited the symbol properties to use the renamed pins
- edited the "model" property as "thors"
- saved the new symbol into a new, empty library named "thors.slb"
- renamed Paul's "thors.cir" to "thors.lib"
- in the schematic editor properties, I added thors.slb to be downloaded
at startup
- in the schematic editor properties, I added thors.lib as an external
library to be used

And voila'! Now I can pick up "thors" as any other usual component
symbol.

Note that thors.cir is too complex for Microsim evaluation version. It
won't simulate. You need the genuine Orcad licence or another Pspice
tool.

Best Regards
