SPICE is it, but I don't think it will eliminate all your problems
with physics.  I haven't taken an exam yet where SPICE simulation was
allowed. 8^)

It isn't PD.  It comes from Berkeley for a small materials fee or more
polished versions can be purchased from many vendors such as PSpice
from MicroSim (they have an ad in most electronics-related mags).

There is a freely distributable version on the Amiga called
(you guessed it) ASpice.  It can be obtained from any Fish Disk source
on disk #278.  It's a little slow as it does not support a 68020 or
68881.  There is also a plotting program that comes with GWIN on Fish
Disk #322.
