Hi Al

Thanks for the reply.

I'll see what I can do; I'm certainly up for a challenge but, as for
everyone, time is a constraint.

A switch and a timed voltage source (or lots of them) is pretty much
what I am trying to model. The difficulty comes in regularly updating
the parameters of the timed sources based on circuit conditions.

One approach could be to run lots of short simulations using a wrapper
script. The parameters could be calculated in the  gap and the
simulation continued from the final point of the previous simulation.
That feels like a bit of a hack to me, but I'd be interested in your
thoughts.

I see. I looked in the documentation and examples in the source package,
which seem to refer to the stable version and had not found the detailed
documentation on the wiki.

Thanks
