I'm trying to use the backprop program that came with the PDP books (by Rumelhart & McClelland), to train a network to recognize digits 0 thru 9. I've done my best to set up the network, template, pattern and startup files correctly but the program just hangs when I invoke the training commands (i.e., ptrain or strain). There are no error or information messages given. I've also tried unsuccessfully to recompile the PDP programs with Microsoft C version 6.0. If you have done this successfully and have some helpful hints I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks much.
