Sounds wonderful. Is it sufficiently compatible with SPICE that I can  
feed it an HSPICE netlist to describe the circuit itself? I don't  
care about commanding the simulation in some other language, but I've  
been working with a VLSI layout contractor that uses HSPICE netlists  
as an interchange format and a fab house that distributes BSIM  
parameters in HSIPCE format. I generate HSPICE netlists from the  
schematic, check them in simulation, and submit them to the  
contractor. I get back huge, flat "parameter extraction" HSPICE  
netlists for more simulation. I've been using ngspice with a  
customized spicepp.pl successfully, but there are issues. The bigger  
transient simulations bring ngspice to its knees without careful  
tuning, and noise simulations produce nonsense.
