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 optimal value is from MINOS version 5.3 (of Sept. 1988)               
running on a VAX with default options.

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.)
