BPMPD Directives for AMPL

To set these directives, assign a string specifying their values to the AMPL option bpmpd_options. For example:

ampl: option bpmpd_options 'feas1=1.0e-8 ordering=3 outlev=1';

See the the references given at the BPMPD Home Page for further information on the meaning of these directives.
