etc etc Hi, There is many ways to approach this issue, but you really need to consider how you are going to deal with sequential logic? And what about outputs directly joined together? The first will be a limitation of your simulator unless you deal with it - probably by inducing a step delay mechanism. You need to read up on parsing methods, and work out how you would parse your input. This builds a datastructure containing the circuit you wish to simulate... then the similulator works solely on this datastructure - not refering back to the original file. Honestly, unless this is a project then you should be looking for existing digital simulators. Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
