Installing SPICE OPUS for Windows 95/98/NT
After downloading the zip file extract it into the temporary directory of your choice. Then run setup.exe.
The installation script will ask you where would you like to install SPICE OPUS and will copy all the files
there for you. It will also add the SPICE OPUS executable and a link to this documentation to Start/Programs
menu. After the installation is complete you can delete the temporary directory.
The directory where you installed SPICE OPUS should contain following subdirectories:
|

the spice3 simulator and the cmpp code model source preprocessor |
|
