There is a README file in "tests" that explains how to run the test
suite.

The .ckt files there (as opposed to the .gc files) are old Spice format
tests.  To run them, use the "-b" option, for example=20

"gnucap -b current.ckt".

This is consistent with the way Spice does it, or at least it was.

The ".gc" files do not require the "-b".
