Martin --

The one book I had on linear programming from a programming perspective was sold -- thought I could do as well from the other texts as the Fortran code in it.

Here are a couple web references that may give you some options -- both code libraries (in C/Pascal) or books more contemporary than I've worked with.

Linear Programming FAQ -- very useful references for code available on the web and books.
