Dear Source_Dipole,
The electronic circuit simulator that I use is MicroSim Eval. 8.0. This program can be downloaded for free from ...
On this page find the "MicroSim Version 8.0" section and the select "1. Click here to download version 8.0 of Schematics from MicroSim." Then, at the resulting next page, select "Method 1: Click here to download PSpice in one large file (16 MB)." The file that you download to your PC should be named 80dlabe.exe and should indeed be about 16 Mb in size. I really like this program even though it is only a demo version and won't allow you to create your own parts and/or bring in PSpice libraries.
Best,
Stan Mayer
