calculate the Q factor of LC bandpass

Can't find the original. Here's a simple file to play with, real poles only, no zeros.

*pzexample.net *3 real poles, no zeros r1 1 2 1k c1 2 0 1u r2 2 3 10k c2 3 0 100n r3 3 4 100k c3 4 0 1n v 1 0 dc 0 ac 1 .pz 1 0 4 0 vol pz .print pz all .end

This is what it does in Berkeley 3f:

Thanks. I have fussed LTSpice for about 2 hour now and cannot get pole zero analysis at all. Nor do i yet see any easy way to twist its arm. It may have been only a rumor or someone's moby macro hack.
