Obviously you are right. A few questions, if you may: 1. Do you know if octave and GLPK run smoothly on windows? Never heard of GLPK and I always had the impression that Octave is only for linux, but I search around and see that I may have been wrong about that. 2. Is it possible to call such methods from another language? Specifically python, which is my bestest and most favorite language of use? Is it easy? 3. Is it possible to have complete accuracy in octave/glpk when handling fractions? I have that option in python using the Fraction class, but I am not sure how many other languages have such classes...
