NNP save and load utilities
===========================

**IMPORTANT NOTICE**: To handle NNP file from Neural Network Console, if the network you want to save/load contains `LoopControl` functions `RepeatStart`_,  `RepeatEnd`_, `RecurrentInput`_, `RecurrentOutput`_ or `Delay`_, you must expand network with :any:`../../file_format_converter/file_format_converter`.
