[Cbc] cbc.exe vs. Cbc API

Hi,

let me try to be faster than John ;-).

The cbc example driver3.cpp should show how this is done.
You create a CbcModel, then call
CbcMain0(model);
create an char* array args of parameters that you normally give to your 
cbc executable, end then call
CbcMain1(number of args, args, model);

I think I heard that OsiCbc is not a good way to run Cbc.

Best,
Stefan
