Sounds like I'm the first to try this. My first approach was going to be 
based on using the "Carbon" utilities to see if I can port using the 
original Mac GUI source as a starting point. I am currently running 
Electric under the Classic interpreter without any problems. I'd just 
prefer to run it native so that I don't have to launch the  Classic 
environment every time I want to use Electric. If the porting approach 
using Carbon fails, I'll probably try to port it using X11 using the XonX 
sources for Darwin. I guess a manual port using Aqua routines would be my 
last resort. I am also interested in integrating MacSpice3F4 directly in 
Electric (with the BSIM 3.3 models). I'll post to the list as I move 
forward with the project. Thanks for your responses...
