	Correct.  There is no link between the two.  I briefly looked
at the syntax which tkgate imports and it was certainly non-trivial.
A netlist backend which targets tkgate might be of useful, or not since
tkgate has it's own schematic capture.

	Hmmm... what does electric import wrt this internal simulator?

	Yeah, that might be of interested.  Anybody have any docs on
what IRSIM decks look like?

	Indeed.
