Q: Are the demo files in the Star-Hspice Manual (versions 99.2 & 99.4) available anywhere on-line?

A: No, they are not on-line. However, they are in the directory where you install the Star-Hspice and AvanWaves executables:

1. From the directory where you install Star-Hspice (for example:
/hspice), point to:

/hspice/99.4/demo/

2. Two sub-directories appear:

• /hspice directory, which contains several sub-directories, such as alge, apps, bench, bisect, bjt, etc. In each sub-directory, there are several demo netlists relative to the title of that sub-directory.
• /awaves directory contains a sub-directory, named "tutorial" which contains AC, DC, and TRAN sub-directories. Each sub-directory contains one demo file relative to its title.

Q: How do I get a copy of the Star-Hspice Manual ?

A: First, check the Star-Hspice installation directory for a docs folder. If the manual isn't there, check the Star-Hspice CD for the documents.

• For UNIX, they should be in a 200*.*_hspice_docs.tar.gz file, or something similar.
• For Windows, rerun the installation. One of the options during the installation is to choose what items to install (Star-Hspice, AvanWaves, and documentation).

If none of these options work, send an email to:

hspice_nw@avanticorp.com

An ftp account can be set up to download the electronic documents.

For hardcopies, email:

hspice_nw@avanticorp.com

for the necessary contact information.
