Hello!  I am trying to use a neural network for a Control related problem,
and I already have a three-level backtracking neural network, which takes
binary inputs and gives binary outputs.  Are there any neural nets out 
there that take real numbers (from say -d to +d on the real axis) as
inputs?  The outputs can still be binary, although it would be good if
I can train it to output in real numbers also.

I realize I can convert my real numbers into binary, and I will do that,
but having a net that can handle real numbers would be good to experiment
with also.  Thanks for your time! - Chuck Cohen

P.S. I can handle C and Lisp.
