+1 But what kind of knapsack problems? There are many variants of this problem, some of those are NP-complete. For instance, see [1]. References: [1] S. Martello, P. Toth.

+1 I've run into needing to solve various knapsack problems a number of times. Often I would be happy with something that just does something a bit more sophisticated than brute force. -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com http://sourceforge.net/users/stirlingwestrup
