A few months back, I posted the source code for a Logic Simulator and
Logic Minimizer to this net;  they aren't "sophisticated", but they work.
(They were from my book, "COMPUTER AIDED LOGIC DESIGN", H. Sams, 1985.
and are written in BASIC.)  [I'm relatively new to the net; what's the
"etiquette" for reposting?]

In the January and April 1983 issues of BYTE magazine, I also published
a Logic Simulator, also in BASIC. (The April 1983 program was the most
sophisticated, allowing MACROs, but was Unit Delay; the one in my book
has assignable delay, but doesn't have MACROs.)

B.V. Engineering, 2200 Business Way, Riverside, CA 92501, now offers a
fairly good simulator based on my work for under $100.  It doesn't have
macros, but has assignable delays and a good user interface (detailed
for novice users, bypassable for experienced users, etc.).

[UC Berkeley had had an effort going in CAD on personal computers, you
may want to contact them.]
