Math Solver

[Kevin Nowaczyk]

I'm in the process of moving some of my company's
chemical prediction models out of MS Excel and into a
more friendly perl/Octave environment. The one thing
I'm having trouble with is some worksheets rely on the
Excel solver. I'm guessing the Generalized Reduced
Gradient (GRG2) nonlinear optimization code it uses is
not available, but something similar HAS to be out
there. I've checked the web, CPAN and Octave modules to
no avail.

Someone asked a similar question to this list 2 years
ago and no options were available.  I hope something
has been added.

Alternateively, if an Octave solution doesn't exist,
I'd love to hear any other ideas.
Thanks for any help,
Kevin Nowaczyk
