Sorry, that was just me making noise. I wasn't successful in adding that
functionality. I think the best approach is to rewrite ktechlab as a
front-end for gnucap (or any other generic SPICE implementation) and
possibly other tools.

My only success so far is my 3-phase power simulator. -- A demo of a
3-phase power supply with an implementation of the phase-angle enhancement.

Unfortunately, the founders of this project don't seem to have enough
time (or possibly the inclination) to continue to work on it. Still, I
have high praise for them for their innovations in usability which are
far beyond all the other tools I've managed to get running on my badly
broken linux box.

I'll try, but I've been only an occasional user of ktechlab reciently.
I've been trying to develop a surround sound processor/DAC with a vacumn
tube output buffer. Unfortunately, the simulator stops working if I try
to switch on more than two channels at once. =(
