- Ok, I figured out a couple of simple oscillators, e.g.
- -
- =#=
- -
- with a period of 3,
-
- and
- -
- = #
- =
- with a period of 4.

-
- and I figured out delays (sort of) by just varying the lengths of wire
- from various contacts on a clock to get 3 staggered pulses from a single
- oscillator.
-
- However, I haven't figured out the more sophistcated circuits, yet. Can
- anybody give me some tips? Is there a better wire-world than the wire-pc.c
- program that shows up on archie?

- rog.
