12Full documentation comes with your distribution in the directory SYMPHONY/Doc
13and can also be downloaded at ftp://branchandcut.org/pub/reference/. There is
14a user's guide (latest version is SYMPHONY-5.1-Manual.pdf) that should be read

25*******************************************************************************

27There are a number of sample applications available as examples of how to
28do development with SYMPHONY. These include solvers for the matching problem,
29the set partitioning problem (simple and advanced versions), the vehicle
30routing and traveling salesman problems, and the mixed postman problem. These
31applications are distributed as separate packages and can be downloaded from
32www.branchandcut.org. There is a white paper that guides the user through the
33development of the matching solver.
