[comp.ai.neural-nets] backperc info needed

Hi there

Some excitement has been generated on the net due to tantalising
announcements about a new neural-net training algorithm called
backpercolation.  Does anybody out there have any specific info
which would allow me to write some C++ code.  Algorithms and 
references to research papers would be really nice.

I too am looking for backperc references. As yet, I only have a vague
recollection of a message claiming that the algorythm doesn't get caught
in local minima. I should pay more attention to what I'm reading, but I don't
remember where I even saw it. Thanks.
