Digital Breadboard v1.1, a digital logic circuit simulator for the Amiga.
Release v1.1 contains:
DBB - the main program
DBB.dvi - a user manual
DBB.doc - an ASCII version of the user manual
(this is not as complete as the TeX version but covers
everything important)
DBB.guide - AmigaGuide database file
DBB.prefs - a config file
elements.iff, good.iff, bad.iff - pictures required by dvi file
good.iff.guide, bad.iff.guide, kmap.iff.guide - brushes for AmigaGuide
database
Circuits/* - sample design files, mostly from Ethan Dicks
<erd@kumiss.cmhnet.org> Thanks Ethan!
fonts/hpcalc.font - a needed font
fonts/hpcalc/18 - the font itself
reqtools.library - a needed library file
History - history file
README - this file.
To print the TeX verion of the manual, you will need the program DVIprint
and the associated TeX fonts, and the program SpecialHost will have to be
active to import the .iff pictures. Put the .iff pictures in the same
directory that you started SpecialHost from. If you start SpecialHost in
your startup-sequence with the call `tex:bin/specialhost', then you would
put the files in DH0:'s root directory, or whatever your working directory
is. SpecialHost should be set to `Memory' or `File' (borderless). Type
`DVIprint p printer DBB.dvi' (substitute your own supported printer where
it says 'printer').
For my HPIIIP, these are the settings I use:
TeX:bin/dviprint -b 200000 -h .73in -v .4in p laserjet DBB.dvi
Those without access to TeX can obtain a 16-page laser-printed TeX manual
from me by writing. Please specify plain or 3-hole paper.
The AmigaGuide datafile uses CBM's Display program, and because Workbench
users won't have a full path, expects it to be in the default Sys:Utilities
drawer. You can change this location, or even the program if you want, by
editing the DBB.guide file with a text editor. Better yet, if you have
the AmigaGuide distribution, use WDisplay instead to display the files on
the AmigaGuide window itself. Also note that because of the lack of
variable support in AmigaGuide, the three *.iff.guide files need to be in
the same directory as you started DBB from (i.e. if you use the DBB icon
then they will be found in their default location, but if you start DBB
from a project icon in the Circuits drawer, you'll either need to edit the
DBB.guide file to supply a path for the files or have a copy of them in
that drawer.
Digital Breadboard is a WB2.x program! If you try to run it under 1.3 or
earlier, it won't work. Digital Breadboard uses an Amiga high-res screen
mode. If you use it with a non-VGA monitor it will probably look non-optimal
unless you get creative with the colors. Pay attention to the printer
settings if you use a dark background.
