Source file main.c is an AMPL driver for BPMPD.  It assumes
a library form of BPMPD (bpmpd.a on Unix systems) is in the current
directory.  (To avoid any confusion with BPMPD source file bpmpd.f,
the driver is "main.c" rather than the more logical "bpmpd.c".)

solve_result_num values
=======================

Here is a table of solve_result_num values that "bpmpd" can return
to an AMPL session, along with the text that appears in the associated
solve_message.

	Value	Message

	0	Optimal solution found
	1	Optimal primal solution; some dual values may be wrong.
	200	Primal infeasible (or badly scaled)
	300	Dual infeasible (or badly scaled)
	510	Execution stopped
	520	Ran out of memory

At the moment (5 May 1999), BPMPD does not return correct dual values
for constraints that its presolve phase eliminates.  If bpmpd otherwise
appears to solve the problem correctly, solve_result_num = 1.
By adding " presolv=" to $bpmpd_options, you can turn off BPMPD's
presolve phase.
