I am helping one of our users who wants to get the maximum volume of boxes
to fit in a shipping container.  There are twelve different sized boxes.
I'm interested in any software for solving this problem.  Otherwise, is
there a way to set this up as a linear or nonlinear programming problem?
If so, how?  Are there other methods one could use?  Are there any
published articles or books on the subject?  Thanks for your help.
