1. Packing List
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This distribution diskette should contain the following files:
README.TXT This file
INSTALL.EXE Utility to install Neuralyst distribution
NEURLYST.XLM The Neuralyst macro file for loading by Excel(TM)
NEURXTRA.XLM Another macro file used by Neuralyst
NEUR14.DLL The Neuralyst code library, which loads automatically
NEURDEMO.WRI The Demonstration Guide, suitable for printing
with Windows Write (about 45 pages)
NEURDEMO.HLP The Demonstration Guide as a Windows Help file
ORDERFRM.WRI The Neuralyst Order Form, print with Windows Write and
return to Cheshire by mail or FAX to order Neuralyst
LOGIC.XLS A preconfigured test worksheet to verify installation
EXPLODE.XLS A series of example worksheets worked in the manual
PARITY.XLS
PAPER.XLS
SINE.XLS
MUGBOOK.XLS
EZCREDIT.XLS
FIZZY.XLS
AMETEK.XLS
DJIA.XLS
Installation will place these files in a single directory on your
hard disk, as well as creating a Program manager group with a few
icons for Neuralyst as well as the Demonstration Guide. No other
changes will be made to your Windows installation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing you should do is to install Neuralyst onto your hard disk.
To do this, FIRST MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A COPY OF EXCEL (TM) 4.0 OR LATER
AND ARE RUNNING MICROSOFT WINDOWS (TM) 3.1 OR LATER. In the Program
Manager, give the File Run command. In the dialog box that appears, enter
the command "A:INSTALL.EXE", for floppy install, or "C:\YOURPATH\INSTALL.EXE",
for network or unzipped directory install, and press the "OK" button. (Note
that YOURPATH should be replaced with the path to the network or unzipped
directory containing the Neuralyst files).
The Neuralyst installation program on the floppy or unzipped directory will
copy all of the Neuralyst files onto the specified path on your hard disk,
and install icons into the Program Manager to provide easy access to
Neuralyst. If you wish the unzipped directory to be the installed directory,
then uncheck the "Copy Files on Installation" check box and confirm that
the INSTALL.EXE program now shows your unzipped directory. Clearing this
check box will cause INSTALL.EXE to skip the file copying phase and perform
only the icon installation phase.
BE SURE THAT THE EXCEL IS REGISTERED IN WIN.INI SO THAT XLS AND XLM FILES
WILL PROPERLY INVOKE EXCEL. See the NEURDEMO.WRI or NEURDEMO.HLP for more
information on the installation procedure.

3. Demonstration Restrictions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This demonstration version of Neuralyst has several restrictions that
are not present in the full product. These restrictions have been
chosen to permit use of all of the included example worksheets, as well
as permitting the user to try out neural network technology on their
own problems and data. These restrictions are as follows:
* Network weights cannot be re-loaded. Weights saved to a worksheet
may be printed and analyzed after training, but they will be replaced
by random values when reloaded. This means that no training can be
preserved in a saved worksheet. The full product allows training to
be preserved in a saved worksheet.
* Networks cannot have more than one hidden layer, for a maximum of a
three layer network. The full product allows as many as four hidden
layers, for a maximum of a six-layer network.
* Networks cannot have more than 400 input cells, 200 output and target
cells, or 300 total connections. The full product permits as many as
6,550 rows with inputs, outputs and targets limitted only by available
memory. The full product permits as many as 131,000 connections.
* The Genetic Training supervisor feature is disabled. The full product
permits the use of a powerful genetic algorithm to assist with the
configuration of a neural net that is best suited to your data.
* The Trader's Macro Library, a technical stock/futures analysis
package, is disabled. The full product includes this package, which
facilitates the computation and maintenance of processed stock/futures
data, at no additional charge. Computations supported by the Trader's
Macro Library include: Simple and Exponential Moving Averages; Moving
Average Oscillators; Rate of Change; Momentum; Relative Strength Index;
Stochastic Oscillators; and others.
