[Help-gnucap] how to use LMC6482A spice model with gnucap?

[John Steele Scott]

Hi,

I have made a small netlist to simulate an active rectifier which uses
National Semiconductor's LMC6482A. The model is available from
<http://www.national.com/models/spice/LM/LMC6482A.MOD>.

When I try to simulate my circuit, I get the following errors:

*//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
G4  98 16 POLY(2) 1 49 2 49 0 2.812E-8 2.812E-8
                ^ ? need 1 more nodes
.MODEL MOSFET PMOS(VTO=0 KP=1.842E-3)
                   ^ ? no level specified, using 1

M1.X_U2, MOSFET

M2.X_U1, MOSFET
model and device parameters are incompatible
M1.X_U1, MOSFET
model and device parameters are incompatible

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what changes need to be made
to simulate this model in gnucap version 0.34. I imagine it's not so
difficult once you know how.

In case it matters, the netlist which I am using this circuit in is below.
This is based on an article at <http://www.edn.com/article/CA6250014.html>
"Precision full-wave signal rectifier needs no diodes".
