You don't have to release it at all. Supposing you do release it, I'm pretty sure the answer is still no. It's not mere aggregation, it's a use. It's in the same category as a script that invokes glpsol. glpsol could readily be replaced by another solver that understands MathProg. The solver could be a script. -- Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Horse guts never lie." -- Cherek Bear-Shoulders _______________________________________________ Help-glpk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-glpk
