I would like to be informed if there are plans to increase the number of control parameters for Symphony that can be set using the lpsymphony package. Currently there is only a handful of parameters that can be set, while Symphony allows for a great many parameters that can be set (e.g. see http://www.coin-or.org/SYMPHONY/man-5.1/node117.html).

For instance, it would be a great help if, after letting Symphony run for an hour an receiving the message "time limit reached", the current state of affairs could be saved and a "warm start" (http://www.coin-or.org/SYMPHONY/man-5.1/node129.html) could be used after changing some of the parameters (or after acquiring a new supply of patience).

Instead of being left with "nothing" and having to start all over again...

Any comments would be very welcome!
