I just took a look on the net and it looks as if fuzzy logic might not be
quite the right term for what I described in my last email. SO, perhaps it
was the blind leading the blind <G>

I was under the impression that neural networks and fuzzy logic were sorta
the same thing. I'm not sure if they are. I found a site at

http://developer.intel.com/design/mcs96/designex/2351.htm

which gives a VERY basic overview of fuzzy logic. It is too vague to tell
if it is implemented using neural networks or not.
