Re: [Help-glpk] Re: Counting solutions rather than optimizing solutions

Sorry, I meant a better implementation. The object is just to enumerate the 
number of different ways of making 1000 from coins of 1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200.

The issue is unclear. Counting the number of integer feasible solutions
(as well as generating them) for your problem is a trivial task. Since
the problem has no objective, what does "a better solution" mean?
