+# BNW
+
+This contains the code for the Bayesian Network Webserver (BNW).
+The original BNW website is compbio.uthsc.edu/BNW
+The current development version of BNW is compbio.uthsc.edu/BNW_1.11
+
+There are a couple of intermediate versions that I kept on the BNW server. Some of them are related to the branches below.
+
+There are four branches.
+1) matlab_original (compbio.uthsc.edu/BNW_1.01): This is functionally identical to the original BNW code. The only difference is that unused files were removed.
+2) octave_version (compbio.uthsc.edu/BNW_1.02): This should perform similarly to the original version of BNW. However, instead of Matlab, Octave is used.
+3) octave_php_separate (compbio.uthsc.edu/BNW_1.1): The main goal here is to rewrite the code so that all calculations are performed in Octave. PHP code only reads from files and displays figures.  I am making other small changes along the way.
