Spice Programs

Note: using dosbox over vnc gives serious keybinding-problems (please mail me if you can solve them), that's the reason why we use (x)dosemu and not dosbox. You can install (x)dosemu as follows:

• Go to home directory: cd
• Get the pseval50-files: wget http://antec2.duckdns.org/pseval50/pseval50.tgz
• Unpack the archive: tar xvfz pseval50.tgz
• Install dosemu: sudo apt install dosemu or su -c "apt install dosemu"
• Start the emulator a first time to make the necessary files: xdosemu
• Stop the emulator: exitemu
• Edit (e.g. with nano) the file autoexec.bat you'll find it here: ~/.dosemu/drive_c
• Extend the search path with: f:, it'll look like this: path z:\bin;z:\gnu;z:\dosemu;f:
• Add this line: lredir f: linux\fs\${home}\pseval50
• Add this line:lredir g: linux\fs\${home}
• Start the program a second time: xdosemu and g:
• Start PSpice: ps test

Due to popular demand I have also put a linux 2g6 (by some people still considered the gold standard) version on my website:
A spice 2g6 static build binary, works fine under Mint 19, Debian 8 ...
Don't forget to make the binary spice-2g6-linux executable: chmod +x spice-2g6-linux
And make the binary spice-2g6-linux available system wide: sudo mv spice-2g6-linux /usr/bin/spice

In stead of editing your Spice-output file manually to get the data necessary for Gnuplot, you can also use the program spice2data from Bart B..
In this tarball you'll find the source (example use: spice < test.inp | spice2data >test.dat). You can also use a more recent Python-version of the program: spice2data.py example use: (spice < test.inp | spice2data.py >test.dat)
