NETS, A Tool for the Development and Evaluation of Neural Networks from NASA Johnson Space Center, provides a simulation of Neural Network algorithms plus an environment for developing such algorithms. NETS uses the back propagation learning method for all of the networks which it creates. NETS 3.0 also provides features for saving the weight values of a network during the learning process, which allows for more precise control over the learning process. NETS 3.0, MSC-21588, is written in ANSI standard C language to be machine independent. It has been successfully implemented on an IBM PC series compatible running MS-DOS, a DEC VAX running VMS, a Sun/PC running SunOS, and a CRAY Y-MP running UNICOS. Two executables for the IBM PC are included on the distribution media, one compiled for floating point operations and one for integer arithmetic. The program is available on a set of three 5.25 inch 360K MS-DOS format diskettes (standard distribution medium) or on a .25 inch streaming magnetic tape cartridge in UNIX tar format. Program $150; documentation $20.
