CONTENTS
========

This distribution is a collection of libraries and executables built from
source code available in the COIN-OR source code repository. The COIN-OR
repository is a collection of open-source software for solving a variety of
operations research problems. The source code for building the binaries
included in this distribution, along with a more complete description of the
COIN-OR project, is available for download from the CVS repository at
http://www.coin-or.org. Instructions for duplicating the steps used to create
this archive are below in the BUILD PARAMETERS section. All projects in this
distribution are licensed under the Common Public License version 1.0. See the
accompanying file containing the full text of the license for details.

The projects included in this distribution are:

* Coin Utilities (Coin): A collection of utilities utilized by other COIN
projects.

* Cut Generation Library (Cgl): A collection of separation algorithms used for
solving generic mixed-integer programs.

* Open Solver Interface (Osi): An generic interface to a variety of LP solvers.

* COIN LP Solver (Clp): A library for solving for linear programming problems.

* COIN Branch and Cut (Cbc): A library for solving mixed-integer linear
programming problems.

* Stochastic Modeling Interface (Smi): A generic interface for building and
solving stochastic optimization models.
