If you mean Steber's software? It's here: http://www.arrl.org/forum/topics/view/153

In the early eighties i worked at HP  Joseph Street repair and calibration facility in Blackburn ( a suburb of Melbourne).

A note came out showing how to use a HP45 wallwart to knock up a curve tracer simply using the transformer and a current limiting resistor.

I had the Hamegs, but they were no where near as nice. Being able to drive a transistor to destruction,
observing failure mode, then just backing off to recover ... multiple traces, sure miss it.

Anybody else here miss some of those old Heathkit beasties?

Wimberleytech:
Yup, built it in 1974 from this Popular Electronics Magazine.  And...I still have it...still works.
