410 If you don't have @sc{Npsol} but you still want to be able to solve
411 NLPs, or if you don't have @sc{Qpsol} but you still want to solve QPs,
412 you'll need to find replacements or order them from Stanford. If you
413 know of a freely redistributable replacement, please let us know---we
414 might be interested in distributing it with Octave.
