Summary README.lindoglobal.txt

Loqo is a version of Bob Vanderbei's LP solver LOQO that can
be used either "stand-alone" or with AMPL's solve command or with
AMPL's -ob and -g options.

Stand-alone invocations of loqo have the form

loqo stub [-AMPL] [keywd=value ...]

where stub was specified in

ampl -obstub ...
or
ampl -ogstub ...

Such an invocation causes loqo to read from stub.nl and, if -AMPL or
"wantsol" or "wantsol=" appears on the command line, to write stub.sol.

You can use AMPL's solve command to invoke loqo and have the solution
loqo computes made available to your AMPL session. To do this, in the
AMPL session you may need to set the AMPL's solver option to loqo by
giving the command

option solver loqo;

To see the current solver option, use the command

option solver;

----------------
Controlling loqo
----------------

Loqo reads key words and values from the environment (shell) variable
loqo_options and from the command line (in which case each key word
must be followed immediately by an = sign). Execute

loqo -=

for a summary of the keywords loqo recognizes.

For MPS input, invoke

loqo -m [stub] [keywd=value ...]

If stub is present, loqo expects to read files stub.spc and stub.mps .

Sample Invocations
------------------

If you're using AMPL, just say

option solver loqo;
solve;

If you've executed, say,

ampl -objunk junk.model junk.data
