[R] Rdonlp2 control parameter question

[Talbot Katz]

Hi.

I have been trying to work with the Rdonlp2 package.  There is a control 
parameter called epsx that has the following description:

epsx(1e-5) - successful temination is indicated if the Kuhn-Tucker criteria 
are satisfied within the value

I have tried to use the donlp2.control() function to adjust the value of 
epsx, e.g.:

>cntlx1_3<-donlp2.control(epsx=1e-03)
>cntlx1_3$epsx
[1] 0.001
>

I have adjusted it larger (as above) and smaller, but it has not had any 
effect on the solution when I run donlp2(...,control=cntlx1_3).  And the 
console output from running the donlp2() function reports a value of epsx, 
which is always "epsx= 1.000e-05".

Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a way to adjust the value of epsx?  
I've been comparing donlp2() with quadprog() on a quadratic programming 
problem; the objective function values are pretty close, but Id like to see 
if I can get them any closer by adjusting epsx.  Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks!
