Well, the NAND = NOR thing was a total cluster****, I don't know what I 
was thinking when I coded NAND. I have a feeling that code was probably 
written at 1:00am on a Saturday morning. How it got by me testing it is 
a total mystery. It was so obviously wrong for NAND.

The OR gate placing a NOR gate was interesting. I have a function that 
checks the types and caches the last used values for later use. Since 
OR, XOR and NOR all have the same basic drawing OR is the base class for 
those, only changing a few minor details (such as the extra curve on the 
input side of the XOR, and the output bubble on NOR), so, it would see 
that it could be cast to an OR and consequently dump it into the 
PreviousOrGate variable. Oops. I corrected the case with NOR, but 
discovered XOR only after I uploaded the code.

Your own sim? How is it going? ( as far as the function calls go, I guess? )

Yep.
