[comp.software-eng] Need HELP with iso-rectangle contour problem

Has anyone implemented (eg. written a program) which finds
the contour of a union of iso-rectangles as described by
Lipski-Preparata in Journal of Algorithms (1980)?

I've tried to do just that, following as best as possible
all directions.

My program has one small problem for which I am unable to
find a reason.

True, the Preparata-Shamos (computational geometry text) book
describes the same algorithm, however, I could not find any
help there.

I would very much like to get a copy of a working version or
converse with someone who is familiar with the algorithm's
implementation.
