[Os-project-managers] osilOutput

[Horand Gassmann]

Hi guys,

I had a quick look at the alternate versions of OSAmplCLient and  
OSSolverService (which are committed as OSAmplClient2 and  
OSSolverService2). Most of the work there is no longer relevant, and  
they do not compile at the moment, but there is at least one idea that  
I consider worth salvaging, namely the command line option -osilOutput.

The idea is to allow users of MPS and .nl files to archive the .nl  
file for later use. There are several reasons for this. The most  
important one is to allow AML users to submit remote jobs  
asynchronously. We are at present not serving this community very  
well. It might also encourage others to switch to OSiL format, and it  
is useful for debugging if anything should go wrong.

What do you think?

Cheers

gus
