Just to note, for completeness, that that works
fine for simplex calls, but may not for MIP
calls. This is because the time limit condition
is only checked when the linear relaxations are
attempted. In which case, call-backs might be
required for finer-grain control? Wasn't there a
thread on this issue earlier (I looked but
couldn't find it)? Or am I totally confused and
mistaken!
cheers, Robbie
