A real good source is the package of basic gates distributed for a
copying charge by ITD, associated with Mississippi State in
Starkville, Miss.  Not only is this a good selection of basic gates,
but it conforms to the preliminary standards under consideration by
the EIA and the modeling standards committee of the IEEE DASS.
Contact ITD at Starkville (I do not have the number; try long distance
information).
