Loggates is a package for drawing digital electronic circuits with 
logical gates in TeX. It uses a special font to do this, which is 
derived from the "milstd" font by Rick Simpson.

The package consists of the following files:

* readme        --- this file
* loggates.mf   --- metafont source for the loggates font
* loggates.sty  --- LaTeX style file for using this font
* lgdoc.tex     --- documentation in LaTeX
* makefont      --- UNIX shell script for generating the font

A nice package which can be used with the logical gate symbol font is
XY-pic by Kristoffer H. Rose. The file lgdoc.tex shows an example of how
to do this. The XY-pic package can be obtained via FTP from:

* diku.dk (129.142.96.1)      [pub/TeX/misc/xypic*]
* archive.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.5) [TEX/DIAGRAM/XYpic/xypic*]

This is the first version of loggates. Among future improvements will be
a better interface with the XY-pic package, which should make drawing
circuit diagrams easier and similar to drawing commutative diagrams.
