Hello,

I suggest you add the capability to write the problem in the format 
close to MathProg one, so that people familiar with it will not have to 
learn any other format.
MathProg, of course, is very high level, but glpk could produce just a 
basic problem description in it without using any advanced syntax that 
is supports (like vectors or sets).
Today I see that there are glp_write_lp which writes in CPLEX LP format, 
there is glp_write_mps for MPS format, glp_write_prob for GLPK format.
All of them look much more cryptic than MathProg.

Thank you,
Yuri
