I cannot link it in 386bsd except the hello program. One reason could be due to the different archive format for gnu ar and 386bsd ar. The f2c lib is however sorted and archived using 386bsd, without using ranlib. Spice 2g6 is a circuit simulator and used to be export restricted but somehow I got a lot of these copies and pspice is widely available here. I feel safe to distribute because someone had actually announced spice3 for windows. If I were a spy why would I announce to the whole usenet groups. In fact it is more useful to the US education system than to us here. The advantage of this over pspice for pc is that it can work with up to 128Mbyte RAM on a 386+387. DJ Delories 387 emulator does not work. I intend to upload it to simtel20 archives. Any comment of the 386bsd -> dos development environments are most appreciated? Despite its limitation dos is cheap, easy to install, works in all PCs which is more than what I can say to 386bsd. -- Othman bin Ahmad, School of EEE, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2263.
