   I've heard rumours to the effect that there is a small public domain version

   appreciated.

The only public domain version of Spice I'm aware of is from Berkeley.
You have to fill out forms stating you won't do things like export the
code from the USA, etc.  You can get all the forms via ftp from
shambhala.berkeley.edu in pub/spice-doc.  I know that versions 2g6
(the famous FORTRAN version) and 3c1 (the C version that supports IBM
PCs and mainframes, Unix boxes and X11) are both available.  I use 3c1
on my Sun and like it, especially since Sun Fortran is such a joke.
