But outwith edge cases that no Fortran programs I have dealt with ever worry about, CL's numerical abilities are in fact just fine despite various people inventing reasons not to use it. > Perceptrons inability to deal with XOR set back neural networks by decades, thanks mainly to Minsky’s arguments. Entertainingly backprop, which you need to train MLPs, which can do XOR, was already known when Minsky & Papert's book was published. They merely provided a pretext for a lot of people who really, really, didn't like numerical approaches to things. --tim _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
