Sat  20-Nov-93: I have updated my linear programming and linear goal
programming package. It is especially geared  to  user  friendliness
(no  documents  are  needed  to  get going) and to teaching (a large
character version included).
   Version  3.4:  Introduced  for  classroom  usage  an  alternative
version LINSOL40.EXE of my easy to use MsDos linear programming  and
linear  goal  programming  program  LINSOLVE.EXE.  This  is the same
program,  but  it  applies  the  40  column  mode  instead  of   the
conventional 80 columns. This is particularly convenient if you wish
to project the results on an overhead projector  connected  to  your
PC.  The  larger  characters  make  a big difference on how well the
audience can observe  what  is  being  projected.  This  improvement
results    from   practical   experience   on   my   own   lectures.
   In  LINSOLVE.EXE  corrected  a  range  overflow  bug occasionally
crashing the program. Made the run-time error reporting verbal. Some
minor  corrections.  Added  a  nag  at the end of the non-registered
version (but no delays, or other silly annoyances).
   In  MPS2EQU.EXE  "Mps  input  to  equation  format" discarded the
/s(upress zeroes) switch and made  omitting  zero  coefficients  the
default.   Included   a   /z(eroes  included)  switch.  Omitted  the
superfluous 1 and -1 and coefficients.
