DESCRIPTION
-----------

  OptimPack is a portable C library which implements algorithms for
  optimization of large scale problems with bound constraints. Large
  scale means some million variables (e.g. pixel values) or more.
  
  The most important algorithm is VMLM-B: a variable metric method with
  limited memory requirements and, possibly, bound constraints on the
  parameters. The algorithm is based on limited memory BFGS updates
  with Moré & Thuente inexact line search and gradient projection to
  account for bounds.
  
  This package contains a Yorick plug-in based on OptimPack.
