That's not really NUOPT's description as I recognize it (and I do have
S+NUOPT on this machine).

R has optim, package quadprog, and function simplex in package boot
related to various types of constrained optimizations.  Don't expect
something of quality of NUOPT for free, at least not with a user
interface.
