- Um, no. The only work I know of is from one of the
- IJCNN (?'90/Washington, DC?) using NNs to classify (oops,
- bad word :)) inputs from towed sonar sensors.
- Friend Armstrong, I meant no attack on you or even
- ALNs. I merely predicted your propensity to champion your
- cause. I suspect the rest of the group has already noticed
- it. :) I have no complaint; if you have something of value
- that you believe in, who could do otherwise? Note that I
- am experimenting with V2.6 to learn what I can from it.
- BTW, how the %$#@ do you get it to save the trained
- net? Nothing (Including RTFM, & reading the code) has worked
- so far. I get a parsing error from LFEDIT no matter what
- I try.
