Yes, I have been outputting my MIP model into freeMPS and MPS format
and trying to use CBC and LPSolve but I did not manage to get the
desired resutls.

Here attached are the freeMPS and MPS of the Timber Harvesting Model
with Adjacents contrailnts and ever tight evenflows (i.e. + /- 2.5 %
from the previous harvest). This is smoothing of the harvest.

I would like to see some benchmark results on this model using CBC,
LPSolve, CPLEX, Gurobi, etc.

Anybody using CBC and LPSolve, please tell how do you solve this model
and how long it takes to solve it.

GLPK/Mathprog with --pcost switch solve this model in 37m39.289s.

Done.

Thanks in advance.
