Bill and Jim,
many thanks for your answers, for the tips and the pointer to the book.
This evening I will try the example oscillator that Bill has sent in a
separate message and the insertion of a VPULSE
as suggested by Jim. Yes, I have noticed that the value for the
"Maximum step" in the simulation usually
needs to be shortened from what PSpice suggests you.
PSpice seems to be a powerful tool, albeit with some quirks, i.e. it
does not recognize (my version at least) the capital
letter M as a prefix for Mega... I had inserted a resistor of 1M, only
to have a few femtovolt across it.
When I changed it to 1e6, everything was ok. Probably it interpreted the
1M as one milliohm... may be they need a refresh
on the MKS system...

Dear Alberto,
never use letters for abrreviation for decimal units. Instead:
100 Ohm: 100 = 1E2
1kOhm: 1E3
1 Milliohm: 1e-3
Always use the basic units .
The Spice Abbreviation for Mega is Meg or meg
for Milli is m
