Installing Hspice 2001.2 for Windows
------------------------------------

These instructions were tested only tested under Windows 2000

1. Log in as administrator (the installation just disappears after unpacking the files if it is run as administrator from an EECS domain account)
2. run \\winsww\sww\private\cad\hspice\hspice.exe (you will need to enter your EECS domain username and password)
3. follow the installation instructions
4. copy /usr/eesww/share/HSPICE/98.2/license.dat to the installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\avanti\Hspice2001.2
5. Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->System, select the 'Advanced' tab, and click on 'Environment Variables'
6. delete the 'installdir' user variable that was automatically created
7. add two new system variables called 'installdir' and 'LM_LICENSE_FILE' and set the first to the installation directory and the second to the path and filename of the license.dat file copied from /usr/eesww/
8. restart the system
9. log in as a user.  Four programs are added to the start menu.  'Hspui 2001.2' is a little GUI for Hspice that allows you to launch multiple simulations and Avantwaves waveform viewer.  The Hspice program itself is a lame GUI for hspice (there doesn't seem to be a command line version).
