WHAT IS THE aiNet? ********************* The aiNet is a very powerful (Windows 3.1) 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 or MS DOS. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The aiNet requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 running in STANDARD or ENHANCED MODE, approximately 2MB of disk space and 4MB 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. FILES INCLUDED WITH THE aiNet: AINET.EXE -- application executable file. AINET.HLP -- application on-line help. BWCC.DLL -- A dynamic link library used in dialog boxes. MANUAL.DOC -- A manual for the aiNet. Word for Windows 6.0 format. README.TXT -- this file. (product information, copyright and distribution guidelines. REGISTER.TXT -- registration information. ORDER.TXT -- registration form. FILE_ID.DIZ -- short description for bbs *.CSV -- several examples (ASCII - CSV format) *.PRD -- some additional prediction files 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. 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 you may try to down-load a postscript version of the manual. The postscript version is packed into AINPS100.ZIP file. You should find this file on the same place and in the same directory as you get the AINET100.ZIP file. 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.
