In this paper I discuss various properties of the simplicial complex o
f maximal lattice free bodies associated with a matrix A. If the matri
x satisfies some mild conditions, and is generic, the edges of the com
plex form the minimal test set for the family of integer programs obta
ined by selecting a particular row of A as the objective function, and
using the remaining rows to impose constraints on the integer variabl
es. (C) 1997 The Mathematical Programming Society, Inc. Published by E
