KTechLab was designed from the start to be an electronics simulation IDE, and as long as I'm heading up this project, the simulation side of KTechLab will be a priority. I'm not prepared to let this project become simply a GUI front end for other simulators.</rant> Having said that, you are welcome aboard the KTechLab project, Gopala. I've noticed that you've been involved in another electronics simulation project and I believe that you can bring valuable experience to the project.
