Some time ago, I asked whether there are fonts for drawing digital logic
circuits. It appeared that there is a font, `milstd' by Rick Simpson.
I FTPed this font, but I fond that some things were missing:
- not all gate types are supported;
- the font is hard to use in actual diagrams.

So I started to extend milstd, which has now resulted in a new font,
called `loggates'. I also made a set of macros (compatible with milstd),
and I am planning on using the excellent XY-pic package to draw complete
diagrams. (As a matter of fact, I hope that a colleague of mine is going
to do that.)

I already made a circuit diagram with XY-pic, which turned out to be
remarkably easy! This is included in the short documentation file which
I wrote.

Since I don't expect much interest for `loggates' (judging from the
number of `me-toos' that I received earlier), I am not going to post it
to this group. If you are interested, please send me email, and I will
mail everything (< 25kB) to you. The package consists of
- loggates.mf    --- metafont definition
- makefont       --- UNIX shell script to make the font
- loggates.sty   --- macros for LaTeX and TeX
- lgdoc.tex      --- documentation.
