Re: [Help-glpk] Gusek : a GLPK IDE for Windows - 0.2.8

[Jeffrey Kantor]

For what it's worth, I found Gusek to be a very useful classroom teaching tool.

For Windows users it's a painless one step install. For Mac users (my estimate is that 20-30% of our students and the majority of our faculty use Macs) it works well under Wine which adds an additional step to the install.  (Here are the instructions I gave the class: http://estm60203.blogspot.com/2009/11/installing-glpk-etc.html)

For learning GMPL, the quick edit/execute/analysis cycle works very well. GMPL is not easy for first time students, so it's great to have a tool that promotes learning.

Lately I've been experimenting with GLPK under Sage, which is another intriguing environment.

Well, I found it -- the sensitivity analysis is almost blameless! Great work!
