Electronics WorkBench Purchase?

I found a site on the web that disposes of software, one of the products is
a complete version of Electronics WorkBench. I am trying to find if it's
student, etc. It's version 7, which is "the last version". Any comments if I
can get this for a few hundred dollars?

If it isn't Spice compatible, leave it. You might be better of by
downloading LTSpice anyway.

I though they were offering him a few hundred dollars to take it away.
LT Spice (or SuperSpice if you prefer it and will pay a little) is the
way to go for most people.

LT Spice is free and much better. EWB is mediocre at best; I dumped it
long ago when I found lethal bugs and dishonest business practices.

Me too, havent used it in over 5 years. Pile of junk,

but FWICR, I did like those little mutlimeters that you could
hang/hover on a node, or was that another prog?

LTSpice does that, after a fashion.

I have to agree with this:-)

EWB is mediocre at best;

I am still staggered that anyone uses EWB. It is truly dreadful.

But why would you *want* to do that. Its far easier just moving
testpoints to wires (voltages) and pins (currents), or simply just
clicking on wires and pins. Or, even having a list of signals by the
side of the graph that one clicks on:-)

Hi Kevin

I did say it was a long time ago.In those days I did think it was a
good idea, but I hadn't met a grown-up version of a spice program then
