AMPL: System Requirements and Capabilities

The is a MS-DOS version 3.2 and compatible with later operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. It can be used with Intel 80386 or a compatible microprocessor with 4 MB of disk space and 2 or more MB of memory. This student edition has a conventional memory variant that can be used on any MS-DOS machine with 640K. Developed at AT&T's Bell Laboratories, AMPL is a modelling environment for problems in linear, non-linear, network and integer programming. Users can formulate optimization models and analyze solutions using common algebraic notation: the computer manages the interface to advanced optimizmers. The package includes a textbook that presents both the fundamentals of optimization modelling and the AMPL modelling language. The book is supported by a full-featured version of the AMPL(under MS-DOS) and optimizer software that accepts problems of up to 300 variables and 300 constants.
