  "This Windows (3.1x, 95 or NT) program for high vacuum system design and simulation shows the dynamic performance (including pump-down or cycling, outgassing and component bakeout) locally within each vacuum component (e.g., pipe, pump, chamber.....) the user stipulates. It uses a friendly graphical interface to capture vacuum designs, pops up the result plots instantly, has a models library for vacuum components, enables a fairly complex system to be designed in 5 minutes plus, and uses SPICE as its simulation engine. It is priced at US$695 until 28 February 1997, and it is sold at a discount to universities. For full information and downloads of evaluation software go to http://www.softsim.com or e-mail info@softsim.com"
