Regarding David's comment,
One thing I've found that will freeze an HSPICE simulation faster than
liquid nitrogen is to run the simulation under any PATH whose directories or
filenames include spaces -- perfectly legal under WIn95 and later but not OK
with HSPICE which carries it's UNIX heritage with it in varied and confusing
ways.
For example:
D:\simulations\HSpice\projectA\testrun.sp is OK
D:\My Simulations\HSpice\projectA\testrun.sp is NOT!

SIers,
I have experienced similar problems in the past with the
^M phenomenon in HSPICE. On occasion, HSPICE would
just stay in a perpetual funk. No error messages, no output,
no notification of progress finding a solution, just complete
non-response. I always had to kill the process to get
HSPICE to exit. I always traced the problem to a DOS formatted
model file trying to be read into the main HSPICE deck.
I had to "dos2unix' every model file being read and now do this
as a matter of course before running any newly acquired model
files. It only takes one ^M to shut everything down.
