TINA/Spice/LM2940c: cannot find model in "all" list on TINA

Part Number: LM2940C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI,

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

First time TINA-TI user: I just tried to place my first component - a 15 volt LDO - looked up a list of TI LDO's (a bunch - are that many really needed?? - or are most of them just obsolete?) - checked "all" in the dialogue box for three-lead regulators in TINA-TI - and then could not find ONE in that long list. Huh? I tried ten in a row - the LM2940C was the first in ten - no luck.

i tried different regulators with various prefixes - UA, TL, TPS, etc... I'm stumped - I thought TINA-TI  was for pretty much all TI components, and I can't even specify one plain old 15 volt LDO? I MUST be doing something wrong...but what????
