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. 114831 Nov 20 14:29 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tslin34.zip Friendly linear programming and linear goal programming Filename Comment Date Time -------- -------------------------------- ---- ---- DEMO.MPS Mps-input-format demodata 09-06-89 21:00:46 DEMOGOAL.DAT Linear goal programming demodata 08-01-89 14:59:26 DEMOLP.DAT Linear programming demodata 07-31-89 16:11:38 DEMOLP2.DAT Linear programming 2nd demodata 07-31-89 16:42:36 FILE_ID.DIZ Brief characterization of TSLIN 09-20-92 19:37:30 LINSOL40.EXE LP 40 columns teacher's version 11-20-93 12:47:00 LINSOLVE.EXE Linear (and goal) programming 11-20-93 15:29:16 LINSOLVE.LIS Document 11-20-93 15:14:40 MPS2EQU.EXE Mps input to equation format 11-17-93 05:27:02 MPS2EQU.INF Document on MPS2EQU conversion 11-20-93 14:17:30 TSPROG.INF List of PD programs from T.Salmi 11-07-93 07:39:34 VAASA.INF Info: Finland, Vaasa, U of Vaasa 11-20-93 12:04:00 ---- ------ ------ ----- 0012 273221 "If you do not know how to go about getting this material, users are welcome to email me for the prerecorded garbo.uwasa.fi instructions (long, circa 29Kb).
