[Magic-dev] Simulation of the circuit through Magic

Dear Mayank,

Yes, but I need to know the versions of magic and irsim you are
using, because the answer varies depending on whether you are
using version 7.1 (or earlier) or version 7.3 of magic, and
irsim version 9.5 or version 9.7.

IRSIM finds its parameter files in its own install path, not
magic's.  You would find it in /usr/local/lib/irsim/prm/
(version 9.7), or $CAD_HOME/irsim/ (version 9.5).

You should use "ext2spice -f spice3" if you're getting .spice files
that are not compatible with Berkeley Spice-3.  Of course, it is
still necessary to have proper device models for the process.
Note that you really should be using "ng-spice" (which can be
downloaded from SourceForge), as that is a considerable improvement
over the original Spice-3 distribution.
