Introduction
GUSEK provide an open source LP/MILP IDE for Win32, packing a
custom version of the SciTE editor linked to the GLPK standalone
solver.

Please note that the GUSEK is in beta version. It may be unstable, use
at your own risk. Advices and questions can be reported to the author.

Download and Install
The GUSEK Project content is hosted at
sourceforge.net/projects/gusek. The source can be reached by SVN:
https://gusek.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gusek/trunk .

To install GUSEK:

Download the latest release from sourceforge:

GUSEK Download

Unzip it to any folder, at your option (GUSEK is a portable

application)
Open it running the gusek.exe file

Notes: GUSEK can be added to Windows Explorer contextual menu

and associated to GMPL model extensions. See Tools > Windows
Integration for options. Warnings: some Windows editions may
require GUSEK running with Administrator rights to do the integration.
If you move the GUSEK folder you need select this options again to
register the new path.

Quick Guide

User Interface

GUSEK can open multiple files simultaneously, using file extensions to

identify them:

.mod : GMPL Model file (can contain problem data too);

.dat : GMPL Data file;
.out : GLPK Output file;
.mps : Free MPS / Fixed MPS Model file;
.glp : GLPK LP/MIP Model file;
.lp : Cplex LP Model file;

Specific resources for GLPK models development are in the Tools

menu. All others resources are from standard SciTE editor. The most
useful commands can be called from keyword shortcuts, toolbar
buttons and tab contextual menus. They are:

Compile : Verify model / data sintax;

Go : Solve current model;
 Build GLPK LP/MIP : Build the problem in GLPK LP/MIP format;
Build Cplex LP : Build the problem in Cplex LP format;
Build MPS : Build the problem in Free MPS format;
Use External .dat : Enable / disable use of external data files
(see GMPL Models);
Set as Default .dat File : Set the actual data file as “default
data file”, forcing it use in model runs ;
Add as Extra .dat File : Add the actual data file as "extra
data file" (only used for multiple data files);
Clear Extra .dat Files : Clear the register of "extra data
files" (only used for multiple data files);
Generate Output File on Go : Enable / disable the output file
creation and display after solve;
Generate LP Sensitivity Analysis : Enable / disable the
sensitivity analysis file creation and display after solve (only LP);
Use Improved MILP (All Cuts) : Enable / disable use of cuts
to improve MILP solving (include all cuts). Advanced GLPK users:
run parameters can be modified at field 1 in View >
Parameters ;
Use with Free MPS Format : Use "Free MPS" format instead
"Fixed MPS" for read/write MPS files;

GMPL Models

The models are developed using the default GLPK model language, the
GMPL (GNU MathProg Language). Some examples from the original
GLPK package are in the GUSEK "examples" folder. The model can be
developed in two ways:

Single File Model

Model and data are in a single file with .mod extension. Good for
didatic models or single data sets problems.

Before run see if Tools > Use External .dat is unchecked

(default).

Multiple Files Model

Model is in a .mod file, but data are in a distinct .dat file. Useful for
complex models and dinamic data set problems.

To run it you need check the Tools > Use External .dat menu
item. In this way the model and data file need to have the same name
with their respective extensions (like prob1.mod and prob1.dat ).
You can compile, build or go from an opened model or data file.

Using a Default Data File

To make easy handling multiple data files with different names you can
use the "default data file" resource. It set one data file to all runs,
until you unset it or define another default data file. In this way you
can compile, build or go only from an opened model file. To use it:

Open the model and data files to be used;

Select a data file. Select Tools > Set as Default .dat File
(present in tab contextual menu too);
Switch to model file and run it;
Repeat previous steps to run each set of model/data files.

Notes:

To go back to "same name" model and data file you need

to uncheck and check the menu item Tools > Use
External .dat ;
You can set multiple extra data files: activate each data
file to be used and select Tools > Add as Extra .dat
File . You cannot repeat data in data files. To disable
extra dat files use Tools > Clear Extra .dat Files ;
To help, if you are testing parameters or using multiple
data files: you can toggle the status bar (clicking on it) to
"edit status" mode or "GLPK parameters" mode.
To advanced users: the "default data" and "extra data"
filenames parameters can be edited in View >
Parameters , fields 2 and 3, respectively.

MPS/LP Models

Gusek also support develop of MPS, GLPK LP/MIP and Cplex LP Models.
You can edit, check, run and convert between these formats using the
Tools menu items.

Default MPS format is "Fixed MPS". You can check Tools > Work
with Free MPS to to run your "Free MPS" models. This item also
defines the type of MPS files builded from GMPL and LP.
