=======
-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.
