<>There have been a few request lately of the form, "Does anyone have an algorithm to do ..." Many people in the micro world may not be aware of a series of algorithms which were published in Communications of the ACM for many years (and more recently in Transactions on Mathematical Software.) Most of the early contributions were written in Algol, but this still should be readable to most programmers. All of the algorithms were tested by a referee before publication, and they cover most everything you can think of. They are also available all together as Collected Algorithms of the ACM. In particular they include a nice algorithm for generating all permutations of n distinct objects. --henry schaffer ncsuu
