Hello analogspiceman,
Now I know why I have seen LTspice only later in 2001. Maybe
our FAE overlooked my interest in LTspice. :-)
Best regards,

The old W98 installation on this machine has files in the SWCAD directory, probably copied from an installation CD, that have 'modified' time stamps of Oct'99. This is likely when the CD contents originated.
That would have been probably the only time a CD install was performed - updates being from the web. The V1.001 web installer is in a folder dated Oct 2002.
Mind you, there are spice era files from (likely) elsewhere that predate these - mostly libraries. The same file type from a Basso Pspice CD install is marked Nov98.
