A recent posting looking for an evaluation version of a simulator 
caught my eye and I decided to post some information on a good 
simulator that I use that is very inexpensive.

The program is MI-SUGAR (http://www.macinit.com) that combines both 
SPICE and Gnucap with a nice graphical interface. A full license is 
only US$15. It runs on the open source Unix freeBSD based Mac OS X. 
One of my clients is considering buying a Mac just to run this program 
as the  Mac is considerably less expensive than their current license 
fees for the program they currently use.

In my case, I usually develop my own models, but SPICE compatible 
models should work if you already have them and the program includes 
models that are built into SPICE.

I have started doing quite a bit of simulation work these days using 
the program. For an individual like myself, this program is ideal and 
the Mac itself is superb for scientific work (8 floating point 
calculations per clock cycle). There are many nice scientific programs 
available for OS X, MI-SUGAR being one of them.
