I have never tried this one, but have seen ads in RUN for an electronics
ac/dc circuit analysis program.  Ad says it computes numeric solution for up
to 40 nodes and 63 branches, etc.  This is being sold by Computer Heroes,
P O Box 79A, Farmington, CT 06034, for $29.95.

By far the best CAD program for the C128 for general use, as well as
engineering, design, and schematics, etc., is Home Designer.  It can have up
to five layers of blueprints on up to a 16" by 22" page.  It is $45 from
Briwall, P O Box 129, Kutztown, PA 19530.  I know users of Home Designer and 
they find it handles all of their CAD requirements.  I have bought other
stuff from Briwall, and they usually ship out orders very quickly.

Other programs such as "Active Circuit Analysis Program", and "Logic Designer"
and perhaps a dozen others are listed in the catalog put out by Dynacomp, Inc.
178 Phillips Road, Webster, NY  14580. Tel: 716-265-4040.  All of these will
run on the CP/M side of the C128.  I'd suggest you request their 228 page
catalog.
