Hello list

>From memory, this question comes up occasionally.
How about adding the following options set to GLPSOL:

Options controlling run-time reporting to standard output:
   --debug n         control debug reporting (0 = off, 3 = all)
   --showinfo n      control info (0 = off, 1 = omit progress, 2 = all)
   --silent          write only errors (--debug 1 --showinfo 0)

If Andrew thinks this a reasonable idea, maybe a C
programmer on this list could write and test a patch?

I realize that "1> /dev/null" could be used on Linux, but
many non-programmers find the syntax confusing:

just a thought, Robbie
