Just updated the GLPK wikibook with this information:

  
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK/GMPL_%28MathProg%29#Fourer.2C_Gay.2C_and_Kernighan_.282002.29

This resource should be a big help for MathProg.
I remember reading the book from cover to cover
about eight years ago (but never used the language).
Can I add my thanks to Robert and his co-authors
for making his book downloadable.

Robbie
