 =======
-profnet_* binaries are neural network implementations in Fortran.  Due to the original design of the code, a specific binary is compiled for each particular network architecture, changing certain constants in the source code.  Therefore, there is a binary for every network architecture used.  Note: certain array structures are intentionally indexed out of bounds in some of the binaries.

 Q: Why so many binary packages?
 -------------------------------
-There are a handful of prediction methods built around each of the binary profnet packages.  Each depends on the mathching profnet binary package.  Each prediction method requires a different neural network architecture and therefore - due to the design of the code - a different binary.  Binaries are compiled with constants set to the architecture of the network and are therefore not reusable for other architectures.  Improving this code is not planned.  A reimplementation of these networks with a neural network library is underway.
