********************************************************************** How to obtain SNNS ********************************************************************** The SNNS simulator can be obtained via anonymous ftp from host ifi.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de (129.69.211.1) in the subdirectory /pub/SNNS as file SNNSv2.0.tar.Z or in several parts as files SNNSv2.0.tar.Z.aa ... SNNSv2.0.tar.Z.ae These split files are each less than 500 KB and can be joined with the Unix `cat' command into one file SNNSv2.0.tar.Z . Be sure to set the ftp mode to binary before transmission of the files. Also watch out for possible higher version numbers, patches or Readme files in the above directory /pub/SNNS . After successful transmission of the file move it to the directory where you want to install SNNS, uncompress the file with the Unix command uncompress SNNSv2.0.tar.Z and then use the command tar -xvf SNNSv2.0.tar This will extract SNNS in the current directory. The SNNS distribution includes full source code, installation procedures for supported machine architectures, some simple examples of trained networks and the full English documentation as LaTeX source code with PostScript images included. A PostScript version of the documentation of SNNS is also available in the same SNNS ftp directory as file SNNSv2.0.Manual.ps.Z It must be uncompressed and should then print on any PostScript printer. Again remember to set the ftp mode to binary before transmission of the file. ********************************************************************** End of Readme "How to obtain SNNS" **********************************************************************
