     SPlot worked great when I tried it.  The guys working on it said they
would be releasing a new version some time around the middle of January.  Guys?
Care to comment?  Things I didn't like about the program:  it would Guru big
time if you loaded in a Spice output file that didn't use just .PRINT commands,
the screen display was very nice looking but printed output was not true to the
screen display (this was one of the things they were supposed to be fixing),
and it runs in my mind that the only way to change the screen colors was by
editing the program with a sector editor or somesuch.  The program is a very
big step as far as Spice plotting programs go, but I can't use it to hand in
printed work for class yet.  Does anyone know the status of this project?
