%
%% SUBSET_GRAY_NEXT generates all subsets of a set of order N, one at a time.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This routine generates the subsets one at a time, by adding or subtracting
%    exactly one element on each step.
%
%    This uses a Gray code ordering of the subsets.
%
%    The user should set MORE = FALSE and the value of N before
%    the first call.  On return, the user may examine A which contains
%    the definition of the new subset, and must check MORE, because
%    as soon as it is FALSE on return, all the subsets have been
%    generated and the user probably should cease calling.
%
%    The first set returned is the empty set.
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 4
%
%    0 0 0 0
%    1 0 0 0
%    1 1 0 0
%    0 1 0 0
%    0 1 1 0
%    1 1 1 0
%    1 0 1 0
%    0 0 1 0
%    0 0 1 1
%    1 0 1 1
%    1 1 1 1
%    0 1 1 1
%    0 1 0 1
%    1 1 0 1
%    1 0 0 1

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer N, the order of the total set from which
%    subsets will be drawn.
%
%    Input, integer A(N), the value of A on the previous call.
%    This value is not needed on the first call, with MORE = FALSE.
%
%    Input, logical MORE, should be set to FALSE on the first call, and
%    then set to TRUE for all subsequent calls.
%
%    Input, integer NCARD, the cardinality of A.  This value is not needed
%    on the first call, with MORE = FALSE.
%
%    Output, integer A(N), the Gray code for the next subset.  A(I) = 0
%    if element I is in the subset, 1 otherwise.
%
%    Output, logical MORE. will be returned TRUE until all the subsets
%    have been generated.
%
%    Output, integer NCARD, the cardinality of A.
%
%    Output, integer IADD, the element which was added or removed to the
%    previous subset to generate the current one.  Exception:
%    the empty set is returned on the first call, and IADD is set to 0.
%

%
%  The first set returned is the empty set.
