Aha. Indeed.

No, I have no desire to re-invent the wheel.  Now I have a stimulus to
try and get IPOPT and ASCEND to co-operate.  The problem from the
Lagrange multiplier site was just a toy, to see what happened.  The real
problem on which I want to work is more complex, but still probably
trivial for ASCEND.

I don't mind at all.  I only sent the message to your private mail
becasuse I thought the list was not working.  I never see messages sent
to it in my mailbox.

Cheers,
