As compared to the "plain QUCS" it happens to work, more acceptably. --- End quote --- Well, given that I am a Linux user and Qucs Studio has this on the webpage: "Currently QucsStudio supports Windows® only.", it is not likely I am going to be able to use it. Moreover, that seems to be a one man incompatible fork of Qucs, so support for models and such is likely going to suck even more. |

None that I'm aware of. I tried all of them a few years ago, found nothing useful. Qucs, for example, had problems simulating step response (there was a fork to fix that). |

Using Xming as X11 server, it seems to work. In general I had very few problems with normal userspace programs (mostly compilers/make and the like, though). |
