ATREE LIBRARY FOR WINDOWS release 2.5
~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~

With release 2.0 the atree.dll has been eliminated... please delete
it from your Windows directory if you have a previous version of the
software.

The atree software was originally developed on UNIX, and this is the
maintenenace release to the second attempt to port it to a PC
architecture.  Needless to say, the advanced memory capabilities of
Windows has resulted in a much better product than the (now defunct)
plain DOS version.  Support for the Windows implementation of the
atree software can be obtained by contacting Monroe Thomas at one of
the two following addresses:

Internet:   monroe@cs.UAlberta.CA
Compuserve: 70524,334

Please note that limited help will be given to Windows programming
itself, and that all development was done using Borland C++ 3.0, so we
can't answer questions relating to the Microsoft Windows SDK.  All
questions or suggestions pertaining to the implementation of the atree
library in Windows are more than welcome.

For expert advice and explanation on the theory behind Adaptive Logic
Networks, you can contact Bill Armstrong on the Internet at
arms@cs.UAlberta.CA.

Thanks to everyone out there that has tried out the software.  We're 
slowly killing backprop: with several promising results in meat
classification, multiple regression, and prosthetic control, and more
areas everyday, the world is learning the power of ALN's.

We welcome your advice, questions, criticisms, as they help us to
better serve the research community.
