+SUMMARY="A Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) solver library"
+DESCRIPTION="It is a free (see LGPL for the GNU lesser general public license)\
+ linear (integer) programming solver based on the revised simplex method \
+and the Branch-and-bound method for the integers.
+lp_solve solves pure linear, (mixed) integer/binary, semi-continuous and \
+special ordered sets (SOS) models."
