Hallo,

we now have a SNNS version for Windows 95/NT. Gerd Balzuweit
(gerd.balzuweit@gmx.net) did a great job porting SNNS
to Windows. The Win32 version of SNNS uses the GNU Win32 X11R6.3
libraries and was compiled with the Cygnus GNU Win32 C compiler.
You need a X-Server for MS-Windows to run SNNS-Win32. I placed
the Micro X-Win32 X-Server demo from Starnet in the SNNSv4.1 Win32
directory. Micro X-Win32 is a fully functional commercial
X-Window server demo. If you like it, buy it. You can run only one
demo server in a subnet or have a 2 hour time limit.

The X-Window interface of SNNS Win32 is possibly slower then
the UNIX version, but fast enought to work with. Use
16-bit or more color depth if possible. To install SNNS Win32,
unpack it (using pkzip or WinZip), install the X-Server,
configure and start the X-Server. Run snns.bat to start SNNS.

INSTALLATION:
  To run SNNS Win32 install the package SNNSv4.1-win32-full.zip
  *and* the X-Window server.
  Install, enable and *configure* TCP/IP support of Windows95/NT.
  SNNS Win32 doesn't work without TCP/IP installed and fully configured.


Happy training,

Niels Mache

PS. We have another Neural Network simulator (Neuralogic Windows)
    for feed forward and Multi-State Time-Delay neural networks.
    Neuralocic has a MS-Windows GUI. The kernel runs 
    on UNIX and MS-Windows and is very fast. Look at

X SERVER (see also README.X11):

A freeware X server can be obtained from MicroImages:

     http://tnt.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mix.htm

This server is somewhat limited as it does not fully support the Athena
widgets (menu items when selected become invisible!).  There is a fully
functional demo (2 hour limit) from Startnet which is somehwat nicer:

     http://www.starnet.com/xwin32.html
