Hi Gerard,

> I like those because you can get output while training.
is it not the only way to train it in a neural network process ?

Any info about it is very useful to me, you could forward us the link 
on the internet.
I personally don' t know the ANN external so if you could give me the 
link as well...
Thanks.
