Description:

  This program will simulate a single-layer perceptron.  This
  includes training as well as testing.  The convergence
  procedure used for training was developed by R. Rosenblatt.

  See the man page for more details.

Installation:

  This program has only been compiled and tested on BSD or BSD/SYS5
  mixed systems.  I have no idea what would have to be changed for
  a SYS5 only system (probably only index to strchr and that sort of
  stuff).  To compile use:

		make

  and to install the program and man page use

		make install

Bugs/Additions:

  While I don't plan on supporting this, I would appreciate
  knowing about any bug fixes or any enhancements made.
  I would like to keep a centralized version with the
  upgrades so that there aren't 50 million versions posted
  to the net.

  I hope this program is of use to you, either in it's capacity or as simple
  example in single-layer perceptrons.
