While I remember writing this for a course on Ada that I prepared ada gave at UofMD on my own time, I forgot that it was later included into a Verdix library unit "ordering" (along with a heapsort, quicksort and insertion sort) and even later included with all Apex releases. As such, it now bears a Copyright from Rational, all rights reserved (it is slightly different than my original). If you have a Rational license you are able to use the code. (Last I knew, any verifiable educational institution can get a Rational Apex license for free.) I do not know if Rational would be willing to go to a copyleft or similar for this code. Maybe you could ask them. You could get a copy of Discipline of Programming and just transliterate the algorithm therein to Ada 95. It would look a lot like this (which is a transliteration from Djkstra's "code" into Ada 83). Again, my apologies for forgetting that I had given my code to Verdix to be incorporated in the VADS product back in 1984/5.
