There is a freeware version and it is also reasonably priced.

Haven't tried it, but $39 for the personal version ain't bad.  It
seems to include some PIC emulators, which takes it a step beyond
typical SPICE programs.

If you don't need the PIC emulation, then I recommend LTSpice which is
reasonably fast, easy to use, and free (as in "free beer").

Man, not off to a very good start on this one.

Spit about three different confusing error boxes at me on start, but 
eventually opened, then just "poofed" on me for pulling down a menu or 
something. I just grabbed the two older free versions they had, so 
I'll probably try again.

Thanks for the tip either way!

If anyone does need a PIC Simulator, check out
http://www.oshonsoft.com/pic.html .  I bought the PIC IDE/compiler a
few years back when the total product cost $19.95 USD, and I see he
has expanded his offerings quite a bit.  I've used it only for the
16F84 and 16F628.

Cheers,
Ted
