Re: [Help-glpk] CSV output?

[Noli Sicad]

Hi Kevin,

Here is my advise. Develop a patch. Patch the glpsol for your own use.
Post the patch code and probably the weblink of the binary glpsol in
mailing list so people can download and use.

Xypron use this approach in case of the suffixes and Andrew would
decide if the patch is good for the official glpk in the next release.
If not accepted, people who need this features can still use it
downloading it your site.

This is win and win situation.
