Sam,

You are right! Sorry for the mistake. However, the S element is also supported 
by the 
regular HSPICE but only for AC and DC analysis (not transient). That may meet 
part of 
what was needed.

If you count Spectre as part of the family of "SPICEs", then it is another one 
that 
supports S-parameter models in transient simulations. I've been using it for 
such 
simulations for some time now. However, Touchstone, Citifile, etc. formats 
cannot be 
imported directly - they have to be re-formatted into the "Spectre format".

Thanks for your comments.

Regards.

Hassan.
