! XNLP example demonstrating the type of solutions returned by solvers
!
! This examples solves simple optimzation problems with different solvers,
! demonstrating the fundamental properites of the solutions returned.
!
! This example demonstrates a particular non-linear optimization concept as related
! to Xpress NonLinear.
! The version of the example is for Xpress 7.5.
