     SPICE, SPICE, SPICE!!!  Not just Spice version 2GS (or whatever the
public domain version is) but something like PSpice (or better yet) IntuoSoft
Spice, both for the IBM-PC.  It should use the math coprocessors if installed.
It should remain Spice 2GS compatible (i.e. accept a text file which describes
the circuit) but what would be really sweet would be a schematic capture screen
which would allow you to select components (transistors, resistors, etc.) and
create a schematic on screen while sumultaneously creating the text file which
describes the circuit (like IntuoSoft Spice).  More importantly I think, it
should be able to do high resolution plotting of Spice results.  I like the
.PROBE card in PSpice, but I think (again) IntuoSoft Spice probably has a
better solution because IntuoSoft Spice input files are backward compatible
with SPICE version 2GS.  That's all I can think of now...
