9** Generate the next combination, a subset of a specified size chosen
10** from a specified number of items.
11**
12** Given:
13** nsel int number of items (subset size)
14** ncand int number of candidates (set size)
15**
16** Given and Returned:
17** list int[nsel] latest combination, list[0]=0 to initialize
18**
19** Returned:
20** *j int status: -1 = illegal nsel or ncand
21** 0 = OK
22** +1 = no more combinations available
23**
24** Notes:
25**
26** 1) nsel and ncand must both be at least 1, and nsel must be less
27** than or equal to ncand.
28**
29** 2) This routine returns, in the list array, a subset of nsel integers
30** chosen from the range 1 to ncand inclusive, in ascending order.
31** Before calling the routine for the first time, the caller must set
32** the first element of the list array to zero (any value less than 1
33** will do) to cause initialization.
34**
35** 2) The first combination to be generated is:
36**
37** list[0]=1, list[1]=2, ..., list[nsel-1]=nsel
38**
39** This is also the combination returned for the "finished" (j=1)
40** case.
41**
42** The final permutation to be generated is:
43**
44** list[0]=ncand, list[1]=ncand-1, ..., list[nsel-1]=ncand-nsel+1
45**
46** 3) If the "finished" (j=1) status is ignored, the routine
47** continues to deliver combinations, the pattern repeating
48** every ncand!/(nsel!*(ncand-nsel)!) calls.
49**
50** 4) The algorithm is by R.F.Warren-Smith (private communication).
