Brian,I didn't know I missed any announcement about your simulator since your VCF exhibit last year. I'm looking froward in trying yours too. Rather use yours running natively than a java applet. I'm using linux mint with the amd64, I see the executible for this, it shouldn't matter then which distro right ?Dan
Dan, It turns out I didn't make any announcements before now. I had hoped to get more documentation done before calling much attention to it. On the other hand, I do have to be realistic about the pace at which I'm getting there. :) But between the timing with the hackaday article and the finalizing of the configuration commands/files, it seemed a good time to mention it. The Linux distro shouldn't affect things to any significant extent. The binary is statically linked so it doesn't make any assumptions about library versions. You will need TCL/Tk installed, but there's a high probability it's already there. One thing I have noticed is that some installations create the wish executable with version number appended and not have one just called wish. If that's the case, you'll want to either create a wrapper script or a symbolic link so that you can run wish without specifying a version number. Have fun, and I'll be glad to try to answer any questions that come up. BLS
