The following are relevant excerpts from lp/data/readme (by David M. Gay):
                                                                          
The column and nonzero counts in the PROBLEM SUMMARY TABLE below exclude  
slack and surplus columns and the right-hand side vector, but include     
the cost row.  We have omitted other free rows and all but the first      
right-hand side vector, as noted below.  The byte count is for the        
MPS compressed file; it includes a newline character at the end of each   
line.  These files start with a blank initial line intended to prevent    
mail programs from discarding any of the data.  The BR column indicates   
whether a problem has bounds or ranges:  B stands for "has bounds", R     
for "has ranges".  The BOUND-TYPE TABLE below shows the bound types       
present in those problems that have bounds.                               
                                                                          
The optimal value is from MINOS version 5.3 (of Sept. 1988)               
running on a VAX with default options.

When included in Netlib: Cost coefficients negated.                       
                                                                          
Concerning FIT1D, FIT1P, FIT2D, FIT2P, Bob Fourer says                    
    The pairs FIT1P/FIT1D and FIT2P/FIT2D are primal and                  
    dual versions of the same two problems [except that we                
    have negated the cost coefficients of the dual problems               
    so all are minimization problems].  They originate from               
    a model for fitting linear inequalities to data, by                   
    minimization of a sum of piecewise-linear penalties.                  
    The FIT1 problems are based on 627 data points and 2-3                
    pieces per primal pl penalty term.  The FIT2 problems                 
    are based on 3000 data points (from a different sample                
    altogether) and 4-5 pieces per pl term.                               
                                                                          
Bob Bixby reports that the CPLEX solver (running on a Sparc station)      
finds slightly different optimal values for some of the problems.         
On a MIPS processor, MINOS version 5.3 (with crash and scaling of         
December 1989) also finds different optimal values for some of the        
problems.  The following table shows the values that differ from those    
shown above.  (Whether CPLEX finds different values on the recently       
added problems remains to be seen.)
