TkGate is a graphical editor and  event-driven simulator for digital circuits with a tcl/tk-based interface.  Supported circuit elements include basic gates (AND, OR, etc.), tri-state gates, adders, multipliers, registers, memories and mos transistors.  Hierarchical design is also supported with support for user defined modules.  Save files are based on the Verilog netlist format.
