- Thanks for having a look at it friend Bart. As you know, the first
- time around for ALNs, in the 70s, they and all other neural systems
- were simply ignored. It could happen again, unless problems in the NN
- approach are overcome. I respect the BP researchers for their efforts
- to speed up training, to find a great variety of interesting
- applications, and so on. But I don't believe the field has a lot of
- time left without new blood, or in this case, very old blood that
- still has lots of oxygen in it.

-
- There is a bug in lfBatch regarding changing directories. That will
- be corrected in version 2.7 coming out probably this week. Maybe you
- have found another bug. On the surface though, it sounds like a
- simple syntax error. Maybe the quotes?
-
- save tree to "mynet.tre"
-
- I noticed some email from Rolf, that may already have solved your problem.
-
- Thanks for the feedback on possible logic net applications in the military,
- or rather lack thereof.
-
- Best wishes,
