Version 1.7.6 is based on the University of California at Berkeley Spice version 3f4 . Circuit descriptions are entered as a Spice netlist with any text editor and then analyzed with the Spice program. The program can perform AC, DC, Transient, Pole-Zero, Sensitivity, Transfer, Noise and Distortion analysis. Commands are entered into a text based command shell [O.K., it is not very Macintosh like but it preserves the original flavor and power] that allows both graphical plotting to the screen and printing. This release contains bug fixes from version 1.5 including: - fixed heap bug that would modify some "defines" after use - fixed heap bug with "sens" analysis - fixed bug in "sens" printf() - fixed heap bug with "alter" command - fixed variable substitution problem - fixed heap bug with "disto" analysis - improved heap management (AC DEC 500 1 1MEG now works) - improved executation speed on PowerPC Two CPU versions are included. One for the 68K that requires an FPU, the other for the PowerPC. Both versions should work on any MacOS greater than System 7.1. This is a large program and large circuits can consume large amounts of RAM. The minimum RAM required is 1536K, although much more is recommended.

What is THE BLOCK? ================== THE BLOCK is a powerful password protection system for Macintosh computers. Unlike other password protection systems, it will not accept real passwords. To log in to a computer protected by THE BLOCK you need to go through a two-step process. First you need to type a Password Key, which is a key combination similar to the Finder's Copy or Paste shortcuts [command+c] or [command+v]. The second step is to click with the mouse on the shutdown button on the on-screen dialog or, depending on the preferences you set, to press the "esc" key on your keyboard. A big part of THE BLOCK's security comes from the illusion that a real password is needed. If intruders are not aware of how THE BLOCK works, they will always choose the wrong approach. If they are aware, THE BLOCK will still be as protective as every other password system because there are many possible Password Keys and there is an option to disable the shift key at startup. A Password Key can consist of any of the four modifiers (command, alt, control or shift) and another key on your keyboard, including the cursor keys, the F-keys and the page navigation keys. THE BLOCK is US$10 shareware. It is available from Marc Mennigmann's web site and all major Macintosh shareware archives and ftp sites. Version 2.0 is a free upgrade to registered users of any earlier version. System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone with at least a 68020 CPU running MacOS System 7.1 or later.
