Why bother? Try getting the code from netlib@ornl.com (I think the address is
right). There are also a couple of public domain ones, 

one is called netflo written by Kennington and Helagason at Southern Methodist
Univ and the other is called Relax III written by Bertsekas. I have implemented
an Interior point path following version (algo by PM Vaidya) which is better
than netflo and relax III only for very large problem sizes (# edges=>128,000)
but hogs a lot more memory than the other two I mentioned.
If I am right, Grant's problem seems to be about a few hundred edges and a PC
would suffice to solve the problem. Get netflo (it is FORTRAN). It is very fast
for small problems.
