	Version 3.2 hasn't been officially released yet.  NETLIB still has
	version 3.0.

	That should be
	   Subject: send xnetlib.shar from xnetlib

hi,

i have another question about netlib.  I've never used it before and am
having some trouble accessing files.  I do have the instructions but
they seem a little ambiguous.

I want to download the linear programming package "lp".  what should
my command be?  I have been trying "send lp".  I've also tried
"send index from lp ".  And I've tried accessing an alternative
linear prog package "ampl/models".   But, no luck!  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

sajeev.
