-- 'input values' -----------------------------------------------------

This option allows you to change the number of arguments required by the
input converter function and the number of results returned by the
output converter function.


-- 'output values' ----------------------------------------------------

This option allows you to change the number of arguments required by the
output converter function and the number of results returned by the
input converter function. This number is the same as the number of input
or output units required to represent this datatype.             


-- 'input converter' --------------------------------------------------

This option allows you to change the function used to convert input data
to real numbers which are then presented to the network. The function
used must have been defined, must take the same number of arguments
as defined by the 'input values' option and return the number of
arguments defined by the 'output values' option.


-- 'output converter' -------------------------------------------------

This option allows you to change the function used to convert real
numbers taken from the network into some higher level datatype. The
function used must have been defined, must take the same number of
arguments as defined by the 'output values' option and return the number
of arguments defined by the 'input values' option.
