Mma has linear programming built in.  ConstrainedMax and ConstrainedMin solve 
LPs posed in algebraic form; LinearProgramming takes them posed in matrix 
form.  I haven't used them in kernel 2.2; in earlier versions, I recall 
having some difficulties (visits to a black hole doing moderate size 
problems).
