NETS is a backprop simulator which NASA developed -- it permits the user to
specify teh number of layers, number of nodes, etc.  Thie nice thing about it
is taht you get the source code ('C'), which perimits you to use it on any
machine with a 'C' compiler.  Also, it is very generic 'C', so it *REALLY*
does run on "any" machine.  Since you get the source code, it is possible to
scale it up to a larger size than NETS itself allows, using their code as a
model.  It is available from:

                  COSMIC
                  382 E. Broad Street
                  Athens, GA 30602      (404) 542-3265

There is a charge, but I don't know what it is.  They also have 'phone tech support.
