+However, you don't need to pay for AMPL right away! There is a limited functionality student version which also provides CPLEX (the mixed-integer linear programme solver from ILOG) and MINOS (the nonlinear programme solver from the Systems Optimization Laboratory at Stanford University). This Student Version will have enough functionality for most of the problems you will encounter in the case studies on the OpsRes Web.

 means that the user must supply varname (the variable name), but has the option to either specify vartype (the type of variable) or not (the type will default to a real variable).
