Alan, Bill, Tadashi and others,

Thank you all for your responses.

I use HSpice quite a bit. I guess I can run the simulations in
Hspice too since I don't have Scratchpad. When converting IBIS
models to Hspice compatible using ibis2spice is there any chances
of me loosing any important part of the IBIS model?
