                     from circuit elements connected by input and output nodes to form a                                   
                     network.  A circuit element can be a single transistor, resistor, capacitor,                          
                     gate, register, functional model, and the like. . . .  The wire connections                           
                     between elements are referred to as "nets." . . .                                                     
                            The technology file is a data file containing user-specified MOS                               
                     parameters and SPICE generated characteristics (i.e., Vgs, Vds v. Ids).                               
                     The input stimulus file contains input data used to stimulate the simulated                           
                     circuit.
