The AMPL processors and solvers in this directory are "student"
versions that restrict problem sizes (to 300 variables and 300 general
constraints) and are intended for noncommercial use.  For serious
commercial use, you should (eventually) license commercial versions,
even if your applications never exceed the limits of the student
versions.

See the AMPL web site

	http://www.ampl.com

for extensive information about AMPL, including descriptions of
extensions available in current versions and pointers to information
about other solvers.

Files with names ending in ".gz" were compressed by gzip.
In general, you need to decompress them and make them executable,
e.g., by executing

	gzip -dN ampl.gz lpsolve.gz minos.gz
	chmod +x ampl lpsolve minos

You may also need to move the files (using "mv" or "cp") to a
directory on your search PATH.

File ampl is a student version of the AMPL processor.

File minos is a student version of MINOS (for use with ampl).
For pointers and more details, see files README.1st and README.minos
in directory /netlib/ampl/solvers/minos and see web page
http://www.ampl.com/REFS/abstracts.html#ampl-minos .

File lpsolve is a solver based on lp_solve, an LP and MIP
solver by Michel Berkelaar.  For pointers and more details, see
/netlib/ampl/solvers/lpsolve/README.

File snopt is a student version of SNOPT (for use with ampl).  For
pointers and more details, see file README in directory
/netlib/ampl/solvers/snopt.
