- Thank you very much for the information. Actually, you preceded
- yourself by about twelve hours: last night I obtained your
- bibliography from netlib and used it to track down Ward and Gray's
- algorithm in ACM-TOMS.
-
- Apparently, the ACM doesn't distribute these old algorithms anymore,
- so I had to perform a journal-to-ASCII conversion with our OCR scanner
- (and edit and debug for a few hours). So, I have this program now, it
- works great, and I will provide it to anyone else who wants it (I
- think(?) this is okay by ACM rules).
