Load an LP and modify it by adding an extra constraint

Description
The problem
               Maximize
                   2x + y
               subject to
                   c1:  x + 4y <= 24
                   c2:       y <=  5
                   c3: 3x +  y <= 20
                   c4:  x +  y <=  9
               and
                   0 <= x,y <= +infinity
and the extra constraint
               c5: 6x + y <= 20
are first stored in the user's data structures. The LP is then loaded into Optimizer, using loadprob, and solved using the primal simplex algorithm. Next, the extra constraint is added to the problem matrix, using addrows, and the revised problem solved using the dual algorithm. In each case, the problem matrix is output to a file, the objective function value displayed on screen, and the problem statistics are are stored in a log file.

   Load an LP problem directly into Optimizer and modify it by adding an
   extra constraint.

   The problem
     Maximise
            2x + y
     subject to
       c1:  x + 4y <= 24
            c2:       y <=  5
            c3: 3x +  y <= 20
            c4:  x +  y <=  9
    and
            0 <= x, y <= +infinity
    and the extra constraint
            c5: 6x + y <= 20
   are first stored in the user's data structures. The LP is then loaded
   into Optimizer, using loadprob, and solved using the primal simplex
   algorithm. Next, the extra constraint is added to the problem matrix,
   using addrows, and the revised problem solved using the dual algorithm.
   In each case, the problem matrix is output to a file, the objective
   function value displayed on screen, and the problem statistics are
   are stored in a log file.
