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.
