Version 3.1 of NeuralWorks Professional II was reviewed by Carl Grafton in SSCORE in Spring 1991, but sufficient changes have occurred with the release of the "Plus" version that this review update is appropriate. NeuralWorks now features a new user interface with completely rewritten user input/output. For developers it is significant and useful that this interface is now the same across all platforms. The central thrust of the interface is a tool palette that gives users a powerful set of utilities and tools for creating or modifying neural networks. Secondarily, the interface features a simplified menu system, including icon-based menus for editing processing entities (PES), layers, and other network aspects. These new features address problems of limited user-friendliness noted by Grafton in the previous review.
