- Improvements
-
- Version 2.0:
-
- The gates DELAYH, DELAYL, and XNOR were added
-
- The options GATEDELAY, WIDTH, and INITIAL
- were added
-
- The TIME and FANOUT options were improved
-
- Error detection was improved, as errors in
- either a circuit descriptor or chip descrip-
- tor could cause version 1.0 to hang, requir-
- ing a control-break to stop the program.
- Now, version 2.0 detects those situations and
- aborts.
-
- Simulation time was improved by altering some
- of the data structures and simplifying the
- chip equations when constant highs or lows
- are present
-
- More chip descriptors were added.
-
-
-
- Version 2.1:
-
- Long sequences of 1's and 0's in DATA and
- CLOCK sources can now be represented by re-
- peat counts (e.g. 111111 can be typed as
- (6*1) ).
-
- The maximum delay is now 32,767 time units, a
- great increase over the old limit of 32 time
- units.

- Planned improvements
-
- RAM chip implementation. Attempting to use RAM devices in
- LOGSIM (still) is a pain, and is cautioned against.
- DON'T, unless you absolutely have to. It's just hard,
- not dangerous to code a RAM chip. A future version
- will have a simple facility for simulating RAM devices.
-
- More memory. LOGSIM currently can only use less than 64K
- for your circuit. In the future, this will expand to
- the limits of your PC's memory.
