I'm trying to design low powered UHF transmitters and receivers. WEWB has a wonderful simulator that enables me to draft a circuit, then sweep it with a variable frequency oscillator and plot the output on a simulated Spectrum Analyzer! I haven't come across anything like it anywhere else! Furthermore, the results it produces match up very closely with real world experience - something that is very rare at UHF frequencies! I did have a brainwave that nearly worked - like everything else I've tried! The program used to work well under OS/2, and since Win98 was proving so troublesome under VirtualBox and Qemu, I thought I'd try OS/2! It installed very easily under VirtualBox (haven't tried Qemu yet) and seems to run fine, but again, it throws a wobbly when I try and install WEWB! I think WEWB must be trying to access something in hardware directly (probably the graphics card) and this is what is causing the issues! Dammit! So near, yet so far! -- Pete christy(a)NOattglobalSPAM.net (make the obvious amendments to reply!) |
