-
- I. WHAT IS THE aiNet?
- *********************
-
- The aiNet is a very powerful (Windows95) neural network-like
- application and is designed specifically to facilitate modeling task
- in all neural network problems, where such tasks would be difficult or
- even impossible with other neural network applications currently
- available for MS Windows 3.1, Windows95, WindowsNT or MS DOS.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- The aiNet requires Microsoft Windows 95 or WindowsNT. (It runs
- also under Windows 3.1 with Win32s installed, however minor bugs were
- reported.)
- It requires approximately 9MB of disk space and 8MB of RAM in your
- system. Also, a VGA, SVGA, or other high resolution
- monitor is recommended. A mouse or other pointing device is also required.

- II. SETTING UP THE aiNet ON YOUR SYSTEM
- ***************************************
-
- STEP 1. Make a separate directory anywhere on your system and store ALL
- of the distribution files that are part of the aiNet in that directory.
- DO NOT FORGET TO SPECIFY THE -d OPTION WHEN DECOMPRESSING WITH PKUNZIP!
-
- STEP 2. Install the aiNet executable file 'AINET.EXE' in a Program
- Manager application folder.
-
- STEP 3. To run the aiNet application, select the aiNet icon by double-
- clicking on it.
-
- To print the manual, you need a Winword 6.0 application. If you do not
- have any access to Winword 6.0, then contact us. We will find some solution
- (Postcript files or similar solution.)
-
-
- III. TIPS ON USING THE aiNet
- ****************************
-
- The aiNet comes with a manual where some features are explained more in
- detail and many examples are presented. We strongly recommend you to
- read this manual first. Reading the manual will be the fastest way to
- get familiar with the aiNet application.
-
- The aiNet has an extensive on-line help system. Documentation contained
- in the on-line system explains almost every feature of the product.

- problem variables (input & output neurons), no limits in
- sample size base. It is not sensitive to noise in the data.
- It provides several different charts types and comes with a manual
- written in the Word 6.0 (A postscript version of the manual is also
- available.) It is very easy to use, due to the build-in spreadsheet-like
- editor. It is fast and efficient and comes with several examples,
- which are solved and explained in the manual.
