IV. Example files
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.
You can invoke on-line help any time either by pressing the F1 function
key, or by pressing the Help button.
