<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=283225015-05072005>I am
investigating the possibility of using COIN-OR libraries in future small-scale
optimization projects. We are are not linux-types here in our
small shop and will thus likely need to compile the code under Windows. I
notice that, at least for the CLP, it has been tested to compile under Microsoft
Visual C++ 6. Does anyone know if this (& other libraries) have been
tested, or successfully compiled, in MS Visual C++ .NET?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
