Thanks for asking.  Yes I got the Simulator working, though I am still angry
that there wasn't a two paragraph example.  Its really easy if you happen to
get everything lined up.   I expect software to help me work instead of
keeping me busy for week learning how to use it.

That's my current problem with OrCAD; sure it will do everything but I can't
get it to create a PCB with just three components on it.   Some day, when I
am designing mother boards for Pentiums, I will really understand and like
OrCAD.   But right now I am using MPLAB and cursing OrCAD.   I think
software companies should use me for "idiot proofing" their software; just
call me Murphy because if it can go wrong it will the first time I use it.
I gotta take my pills and clean my large caliber hand gun collection........
Thanks again: John Kirk
