+$Title  A Transportation Problem (TRNSPORT,SEQ=1)
+$Ontext
+
+This problem finds a least cost shipping schedule that meets
+requirements at markets and supplies at factories.

+This formulation is described in detail in:
+Rosenthal, R E, Chapter 2: A GAMS Tutorial. In GAMS: A User's Guide.
+The Scientific Press, Redwood City, California, 1988.
