Scientific Communication Proposal
John Burkardt

I plan to write an article describing the Nijenhuis and Wilf algorithm
for selecting a random K-subset of an N set.  I want to discuss the 
task, mention alternative algorithms, and then explain the Nijenhuis-Wilf
algorithm more clearly than the book does, list some applications of
the algorithm, note the computational complexity, point out what
seems like a dangerous programming flaw, and then propose a rewritten
but equivalent version.  The article will include the original Fortran77
code, and a revised version, and some numerical tables evaluating the
performance of the code for a range of K and N, and plots.


Issues:

  the algorithm is really hard to describe.
  I want to print the code using a format that sets it off nicely
