My guess would be that people have tried to send you mail, but it has
bounced.  I tried it also and failed.  So in order to help you, I decided
to post my response directly to the net:

If you can divide your simulation process into the timing and switch-level
phases, I can recommend you a switch level simulator (no timing) that
will not let you down.  It is called SLIC.  You can get the file slic.tar
via an anonymous ftp to caf.mit.edu.  After you untar this file, you will
see a file called slic.doc in the Slic directory.  That file is the manual.
Go ahead and try the program now.  An updated version of the program (with
the only difference being more comments in the code) will appear in a month 
or two in the same location.

There is one catch.  You can have the program for free, but promise to mail
all comments/suggestions/criticism to me.
