**Setting-up and using DeCiDa (UC Berkeley NGspice Users)**
===========================================================

First-time setup for UC Berkeley NGspice Users
----------------------------------------------

The application are found in the python bin directory, after 
installation (which or whence python to find the bin directory).
These should be in the path so that simply typing an appication name,
(calc, for example) should run the application.

The pre-installed tool wrappers are in the distribution
./etc/wrappers directory.  These are installed to ~/.DeCiDa/bin

These are the two example projects.  The project drive is where NGspice is launched.  The scratch drive
is where DeCiDa writes simulation data.

Generate a netlist and run simulation
-------------------------------------

* Generate a spice netlist manually.

* Run ngsp (NGspice GUI)

* File->Read NGspice circuit file

* Simulate/Plot
