Steve-
  I posted a similar request a couple of months ago; no response.
The EE department here needs a good library of transistors and diodes,
as the defaults are pretty silly (Ic = Ib for a BJT? Yeah, right).
  Anyway, I did manage to learn a few things in my search for a library:
that the parameters in the Lab books published by manufacturers generally
include data in a format different than what SPICE wants (eg capacitances
measured at different conditions, etc.).  Second, that a real library
DOES exist with a SPICE package for IBM PCs (called, I believe, PSpice).
You must buy the package and then pay a little extra for the library.
Third, that somewhere there exist SPICE users' groups that mantain
large librarys of devices.  We were not able to learn more about these
users' groups.
  Anyone else have any info for us?  Replies greatly apprecieted.
