   Punnets is a C++ library for Pulsed Neural Network Simulator. Based on
   its event-discrete (event-driven) manner of simulation, Punnets
   provides highly accurate and efficient simulation environment for
   rather complex neuron models. Please take a look at the sample
   programs, dtest.cpp and dlanguage.cpp, to see how to use the library.

   Punnets provides two user-accessible namespaces, punnets and
   punnets_nodebug. A user program may import one of the two namespaces
   to use the library. Although the punnets_nodebug version is more
   efficient in simulation, punnets version can provide debugging
   facility, which can be turned on for neuron-by-neuron basis. Stuffs in
   punnets_common namespace can be accessed via either namespace, punnets
   or punnets_nodebug.

   You can obtain the reference manual of this library by using doxygen,
   a document generation tool. If you have installed doxygen, it will be
   automatically generated and installed via a standard install process.
   You can also see the reference manual via the Punnets home page:
