 Copy the compress file wherever you want to compile and untar it
 > $ tar -xvzf fl_anna.tar.gz
 > $ cd fl_anna
 > $ make
 you will find a test programs in the "bin" directory
 just type
 > ./bpanna
for no GUI interface or,
 > ./fl_bpann
 for a FLTK GUI application

 DOCUMENTATION:

 The basics steps are:

 read_data_file(file);          load a data file
 set_output(no);                Set number of outputs (no)
 set_input(ni);                 Set number of inputs (ni)
 set_layers(nl);                Set number of layers (nl)
 create();                      create the neural network framework
 set_neurons_in_layer(l,n);     Set number (n) of neurons of the layer (l)
 select_training_algorithm(b);  true = Levenverg-Maquardt (LM),
                                false = Conjugate gradient (CG)
 initialize();                  initialize the neural network weights
 set_alpha(alpha);              this is the CG learning rate
 set_mu(mu);                    this is the LM perturbation factor
 training();                    one step training
 evalue();                      evalue the net and give the result in a vector

 The  Artificial Neural Network Architecture  (ANNA)   is  a
 Back propagation neural network  class  easy  to  use  with
 the FLTK library.  So you will need to have FLTK-1.3 installed.

 You can get FLTK from www.fltk.org

 The ANNA class library is compose by the following files:

 anna_bpn_net.h anna_bpn_layer.h anna_bpn_neuron.h
 anna_bpn_net.cxx anna_bpn_layer.cxx anna_bpn_neuron.cxx

 The distribution include a demo which should work on Linux systems.


 So enjoy it!
