[comp.sys.mac.misc] Mac neural net- new info

mikek@fred.colorado.edu (Mike Kranzdorf) (08/28/90)

I have recently moved and thought I should update folks as well
as provide the info for new readers concerning my Macintosh
neural network simulator called Mactivation (now version 3.3):

Mactivation is an introductory neural network simulator which
runs on all Macintoshes.  A graphical interface provides direct
access to units, connections, and patterns. Basic concepts of 
associative memory and network operation can be explored, with
many low level parameters available for modification. Back-
propagation is not supported. A user's manual containing an 
introduction to connectionist networks and program documentation
is included on one 800K Macintosh disk. The current version is 3.3,
which fixes a very obscure system error and changes some menu names
for clarity (I hope).

Mactivation is available from the author, Mike Kranzdorf. The 
program may be freely copied, including for classroom distribution.
To obtain a copy, send your name and address and a check payable
to Mike Kranzdorf for $5 (US). International orders should send either
an international postal money order for five dollars US or ten (10)
international postal coupons. 

Mactivation 3.2 is available via anonymous ftp on boulder.colorado.edu
Please don't ask me how to deal with ftp - that's why I offer it via
snail mail.
