[Menai-LUG] TkGate digital circuit app now in Welsh

[Kevin Donnelly]

With SuSE 8.2 just out this week, and building a PC for a friend who's head of 
science at a secondary school,  I decided to do a translation of a program 
that might 
be some use to him (I'm trying to make a convert here!), and I chose the 
rather impressive TkGate, which is a digital circuit design and simulation 
program, written in Tcl.  I'm not sure how "live" it is, but the last 
version, which is a year old, seems to do its stuff OK, and it is on the 
Freeduc disk of Linux apps for education.  (If I'm lucky, my friend may do me 
a review of how it compares with software he is currently using, and it would 
be useful to get a user viewpoint.)

Anyway, a first-pass translation is available on KGyfieithu for anyone who's 
interested:

along with details on the easiest way of getting it running in SuSE 8.2.  

Best wishes
