David,

Thank you. I'm experimenting with a ubuntu VM, which has been backed up in anticipation of the inevitable.
Amusingly, have never knowingly come into contact with anApple gadget so far.
Will post any notes of success.

Mike Engelhardt, Microsim, Orcad and Linear.com, has done some excellent stuff along the way. LTSpice, although closed source is
highly appreciable, so worth the endeavour.
