The optimqr output files

A number of files are generated in the output directory, when the optimizer is run. These are:
last-best Contains the ordering what was most recently believed to be the best possible. Also, the values of the heuristic h(s), the penalty for not having completed the ordering yet g(s), and the calculated costs for solving the system f(s), are given. The numbers are given for each depth in the current branch.
optimqr.best This file contains the same information as the last-best file, except that this file is not updated during the optimization. If the optimizer doesn't complete (for some reason), this file will not exist. Yet, the last-best file will still contain the last ``best'' solution.
optimqr.initial This file contains the same information as the input file given to the optimizer. It can be used for debugging, and as a cross-check that the optimizer really has read the input file correctly.
optimqr.seq This is a description of the final ordering. This file is used by the code generator. It has little value to the user, except for debugging.
