? ?"are they gonna call this LTSPICE 17? or LTSPICE 5?"
It seems that they (LTC) or he (Mike) have given it the name LTspice XVII.? This program is released.? The name is what it is.
By the way, you might want to pay closer attention to the capitalization.? Some people get upset when it is done wrong.? Neither Mike nor LTC uses "LTSPICE".? Also, only two I's in XVII.
? ?"Oh and by the way Helmut, tell mr Mike...I noticed something weird?..."
You should tell him yourself; don't make Helmut do the work for you.? Mike shows how to report bugs and other problems.? See Help -> About LTspice XVII. ?(But I am not sure if this one is an LTspice issue or a Wine issue.)
? ?"...just a homeboy here in Fort Worth Texas"
Very much O.T. now -- but I wonder why you posted that link earlier today to a UML (Massachusetts) webpage which didn't have any obvious links to the T.I. patent issue you were describing.? Fort Worth and Lowell are very much not local to one another.? It just had my curiosity.? No big deal.
