This directory contains the following files: 

            tryme 
            tryme.ibs.correct
            tryme.max
            tryme.min
            tryme.typ
            tryme.v1.0
            tryme.v1.0.output

tryme is an example input file that demonstrates the general
structure of an s2ibis input file, and provides examples of how
to use some of the capabilities of s2ibis.   It is only a simple
schoolboy circuit for demonstrating how to run s2ibis quickly.
It is not meant to be an example of how to model your circuit.

tryme.ibs.correct is similar to the  output file that you should get 
(more or less) when you follow the procedure outlined in S2IBIS/README.
Please note that tryme.ibs.correct was initially created as tryme.ibs,
so it will not pass ibis_chk unless you rename it to tryme.ibs.

tryme.max, tryme.min, and tryme.typ are include files referenced
by the file tryme.  

tryme.v1.0 is the old tryme file from s2ibis v1.0.  I have included
this file because I have not been able to try the new tryme file
using HSPICE, as our HSPICE license has temporarily lapsed.  If
you are using HSPICE and get convergence problems or model problems 
with tryme, you can use tryme.v1.0 instead.  In this case the correct
output should be similar to tryme.v1.0.output. The new tryme.ibs.correct 
was created using SPICE3 so if you have SPICE3 you should definitely
not have any problems.


                    PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY
                    ---------------------

Please note that tryme uses the *[Iterate] directive.  The first time
you run it it will create all of the SPICE decks and run the SPICE
jobs.   If you want it to run the SPICE jobs again, you will have to
remove the *[Iterate] line from tryme, or delete any .out file
that you want recreated.

If you run s2ibis on the tryme file, and it bombs for any reason,
it might leave aborted .out files in the test directory.  After you
fix the problem that made s2ibis bomb (which probably has something
to do with not having your SPICE executable in your path, or requiring
a different call to SPICE than the one that s2ibis uses) you will
need to remove the *[Iterate] line from tryme, or any .out file that
was not properly created.  It will probably be easier to just delete
them all and start over.
