In case it is useful, this looks like it's a pretty industrial strength solver for Travelling Salesman and related problems, written in C http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/tsp/concorde/index.html

This is excellent, there's no other word for it.
I was thinking would it be possible to perhaps host it here too in our download section (with some screenshots and a description) 🙂 We do have a few BBC variants of Manic Miner already here, standard and a couple of 'prepatched' cheat ones.
That would be fine - go for it!

Thanks IRF, very interesting. That's an interesting quirk of the implementation. There's some deeply knowledgable people here it seems!
