Q22: What test data is available?

 TSP DATA
     There is a TSP library (TSPLIB) available which has many  solved  and
     semi-solved TSPs and different variants. The library is maintained by
     Gerhard Reinelt <reinelt@ares.iwr.Uni-Heidelberg.de>. It is available
     from          various          FTP          sites,         including:
     softlib.cs.rice.edu:/pub/tsplib/tsblib.tar

 OTHER DATA
     Information about Operational Research test problems in  any  of  the
     areas  listed below can be obtained by emailing <o.rlibrary@ic.ac.uk>
     with the body of the email message being just the word  "info".   The
     files  in  OR-Library  are  also  available  via  anonymous  FTP from
     mscmga.ms.ic.ac.uk:/pub/
       . A WWW page is also available at URL: http://mscmga.ms.ic.ac.uk/
      . Instructions on how to use OR-Library can be  found  in  the  file
     "paper.txt",   or   in   the   article:   J.E.Beasley,   "OR-Library:
     distributing test  problems  by  electronic  mail",  Journal  of  the
     Operational Research Society 41(11) (1990) pp1069-1072.
