+Spiceprm was written in the course of moving my engineering activities
+to the Linux operating system. My previous MSDOS spice package
+permitted passing parameters to subcircuits. The raw Berkely Spice
+doesn't. Anyone used to this feature knows the frustration of trying
+to use a simulator without it. This script is the result of my
+desperation. It translates a circuit file containing parameterized
+subcircuits with math expressions into another circuit file meeting raw
+spice requirements. You then run spice on the translated output file.
