What software is available for implementing neural nets on mainframe computers? I've been using Neural Works from NeuralWare Inc on a PC, but my application is outgrowing my computer. Thanks. Vincent Hand Miami University (Ohio) Institute of Environmental Sciences (vchand@miamiu.bitnet)

Not entirely sure when Can you please clarify what is meant by step characterization of the decision regions? Also what is the cost of the beta/Sun 4 version, with an academic discount?

NETS is a backprop simulator which NASA developed -- it permits the user to
specify teh number of layers, number of nodes, etc. Thie nice thing about it
is taht you get the source code ('C'), which perimits you to use it on any
machine with a 'C' compiler. Also, it is very generic 'C', so it *REALLY*
does run on "any" machine. Since you get the source code, it is possible to
scale it up to a larger size than NETS itself allows, using their code as a
model. It is available from:

There is a charge, but I don't know what it is. They also have 'phone tech support.
