Has anyone heard of LogicWorks for the Macintosh? It is a digital circuit simulator, not unlike DigSim, archived at sumex. Any comments? I am looking to evaluate any digital circuit simulators, emulators, or design tools available. If you know anything about these or where one could obtain them, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, -David Pakman Apple Student Rep University of Pennsylvania ARPA: pakman@scrolls.wharton.upenn.edu AppleLink: ST0338

There's LogiMac, in the Kinko's Academic Courseware Exchange Catalog, 800-235-6919. If anyone knows of any comparable _analog_ circuit analysis programs for the Mac (other than the high-priced SPICE's), I'd like to know about those.

I found laying out circuits in LogicWorks to be too much work. You've got to lay out all the components, then route all of the wires yourself (every little corner you care to turn) It's far too easy for crossed wires to become logically connected, and several cycles of deletions and additions seem to confuse it--some wires become connected internally, though the display shows them unconnected. Usually, at that point, you've start up a new worksheet, and rebuild the circuit... Also, there isn't a whole lot of debugging support. You can start and stop the circuit. That's it. It seems to me that a program of this type should allow multiple views of the circuit, I remember spending a lot of time scrolling around, or adding some wires and logic probes to bring all of the relevent signals and switches onto one screen. Also, the component library is rather small (though it does have a way to add "libraries" of black box components) Finally, the hardcopy output is horrendous. Black box components from "libraries" are bitmapped objects. Single wires can become disconnected on the printout. This may seem harsh: other people seemed to think it was the next best thing to sliced bread (oohh, what an awfull cliche...) But some of these complaints were in common. Sam Paik d65y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu p.s. I used it in a class here at Cornell.

Hello! I recently downloaded uupc for the Macintosh from sumex. I was wondering if anyone had already setup uupc for their Mac. I need some instructions and documentation on this procedure. I was interested in finding out if there is any documentation available on setup instructions. Please e-mail response. Thanks! PS: I am not a sophisticated UNIX user, so be explicit.
