Please don't duplicate the good work of others with polyhedra.  NETLIB
has a lot of stuff!  See "Communications of the ACM", May 1987, p.403-7.

Here's part of an old blurp:

    "netlib" is automated to respond to requests sent to it.  There are two
    nodes, one on the arpanet, the other on UUCP.  Write to either
    "netlib@anl-mcs.arpa" or ...!research!netlib.  To get general info on
    the library, type "send index" as a mail message to either site (the
    sites are about 95%+ identical in the programs carried).

    One nice library available is "polyhedra".  To access it, mail the
    message "send index from polyhedra".  In this library are some 142
    polyhedra descriptions (a few of which are slightly buggy - please
    report these problems to them).
