?...it will work with anything denoted with the ".asc prefix" at the end.? Even files that are simple text files.
Instead of displaying a schematic...you will read that text on the schematic screen.
Be sure and set up your laptop properly...IF you can ..use a separate partition for win7 vs. win8 or win10.
Otherwise you will need* to "open all .asc files" with the LTSPICE IV logo/icon under LTSPICEXVIII...and
any files you need to open in LTSPICEIV using "drag and drop" (that IS one easy way to do that one).
Old 32-bit LTSPICEIV copies on old XP machines won't be an issue.? Just use "sneaker-ware" and
save from a USB drive (or old 3 1/2 inch floppies)..to your system.? Not sure you will have a floppy on a
64-bit box...but that is still possible.? I have a old PSPICE copy for DOS I have yet to find a machine for
..but still looking. 16-bit code does work under stuff like FreeDOS..but you have to be careful porting that
back to newer machines.? I am sure the expert around here on the "old stuff" is still John, but if Mike E.
has some old "DOS/Windows horror stories" about FORTRAN77 SPICE?he should post them.
<---works hard for a few good chuckles every now and then.
