TEST BANK FOR OPERATIONS RESEARCH Computer Science Interfaces Series By Harvey J. Greenberg

1.1 What you have and how to begin.
The DOS version is on one 3~" disk (1.44mb) with the following files.
File .......................................... Contents
ANALDATAARC .............. Data and Documents
ANALEXEC.ARC ............... Executable
FLIPDOCS.ARC .................. FLIP Documents
HPAGERARC .................... Pagination for HP
LPRNDATAARC ............... LPRENAME Data
LPRNEXEC.ARC. ............... LPRENAME Executable
MOREDATA.ARC ............. More linear programs
PKXARC.COM .................... ARC extraction
VIEWDOCS.ARC. ............... Views Documents
Codes were compiled with Lahey<R) F77L-EM/32 5.0 and linked under DOS 3.3
(the executable uses the Phar Lap extender).
Begin by copying the original disks for a backup. To install ANALYZE on
your IBM PS2 (or a clone) under DOS, you will need about 2mb on your hard disk
(details for installation are given in § 1.3).
This User's Guide is designed to be read sequentially. A reference manual
may be generated by ANALYZE using EXEC DOCANAL. This and other
information about on-line help is given in § 1.5.
1.2 Modular design.
Figure 1-1 shows an Input/Output schematic of ANALYZE. The only
required input file to ANALYZE is a matrix file. This is the (de facto) standard
MPS file, which is accepted by all commercial optimizers and can be generated by
most LP modeling languages (see §8.2 for a utility, called LPRENAME, that
accepts another type of LP input file). For model analysis this may be sufficient, but
other files are useful, such as a solution file from an optimizer. These (and other)
files are described in Chapter 6. To get started, the data files (extracted from
ANALDATA.ARC) contain a variety of examples, which are used in the exercises
in Chapters 4, 5 and 7).
