This directory contains binaries of the LP-QP solver BPMPD-2.21B (2/99)
for various Unix platforms. The files have the name os.gz  where "os" 
is the operating system. This is an evaluation version. Larger problems
may be solved with it but the output of the optimal solution is disabled
for more than 500 variables&constraints.
Input is in MPS resp extended MPS (or QPS) format.
The files for all architectures contain

                  README  
                  QPS.ps  (excerpt describing the QPS format on an example)
                  bpmpd.par   (parameter file)
                  afiro.qps   (sample extended MPS(QPS)-format file)
                  afiro.log, afiro.out (output generated by bpmpd)
                  run  (shell script to solve several problems)
in addition to the binary itself.

A Win95/NT DLL and executable are available at
   ftp://ftp.sztaki.hu/pub/oplab/SOFTWARE/BPMPD/WIN95/

Comparisons of both the LP and the LP/QP versions with other codes are
contained in the benchmarks on
