Setup Solvers for the Run Menu

You can change which solvers are shown in the Run menu by choosing Solver Menu from the Options menu. This will display the Solver Menu Setup dialog box shown below in Figure 4.63.

The list box shows all solvers that are supported by the current version of MPL. Depending on which solvers you have installed on your machine, double-click on a solver to either add or remove it from the menu. Those solvers that are currently in the menu have the word Menu listed in the second column. The solvers that have (mps) directly after the name are DOS legacy solvers.

If you need to change some of the setup options for a solver, select the solver in the list box and then press the Edit button. This will display the Solver Setup Options dialog box which is explained extensively in that section.

If you want MPL to search your hard disk for supported solvers, you can do so by pressing the Scan button. This option can be especially useful when you are not sure where on the hard disk solvers have been installed and you want MPL to locate them automatically and set them up.
