Dear netter,
Two months ago I announced a competition of neural networks and
genetic algorithms. A lot of people reacted, and I have to apologize
for the delay. C++ and memory management took longer than I expected.
The total amount of code is about 1MB. Compressed it still takes
about 600 KB. Because of this I can't send it over the net and we
don't have FTP. The only way out is mail.
Below follow some questions people asked and the answers.
1. Deadline: 01-01-1992
2. Sources: Will be sent to serious competitors after the
deadline is expired to their email address
3. Language: Only Turbo C++ on MS-DOS machines
4. Newsgroup: comp.ai.neural-nets for intermediate results
5. Email networks to: nollie@rivm.nl
6. Your email: Should always be provided for announcing results
7. How to obtain: Send a self addressed enveloppe, a formatted
1.44" floppy disk and $3 for return mail, to:
RIVM, afdeling ISC

Allow for about two weeks to receive your mail.
Please follow the guidelines for obtaining the world. I am afraid
I won't be able to reply each deviating mail.
Each network that is sent to me will be broadcast over the net,
intermediate results as well. I would like to see a lively debate
why some networks are better than others. Those who have their own
development kit can test the networks themselves.
I hope I have provided enough information. Thanks again for your interest.
Best regards,
