[pdp-discuss] question about pruning/transforming weights

[Randall C. O'Reilly]

It doesn't look like this is a supported option.  You could write a script to 
do it (just a bunch of for loops over layers, units, recv.gp's), or just copy 
and paste the PruneCons functions in src/netstru.h into a new function 
(ZeroCons?) and change the lowest level guy to do a cn->wt = 0 instead of 
DisconnectFrom..
