I am not a regular reader of this group, but my scrounging around has 
indicated that it is the best place to post this request.  If I am wrong, I 
apologize.

Does anyone out there have any experience with MSDOS based linear programming
packages (simplex method type stuff)?  If not MSDOS, then a package that
would run on a VAX 11/785?  I know that there are dozens of packages, but 
I do not have a clue as where to find them or how to evaluate them.  I need
it to solve prototypes of what will eventually be a large (possibly Karmarkar
sized) LP.  Inputs would be a simple min objective function and loads of
constraints (tens, possibly hundreds).

If I am asking the wrong people, please respond by email with suggestions
as to who might be the right people.

Thanks,
Russ Sharples
