A simple Fortran Subroutine is given for the exact calculation of permutational distributions for two independent samples. Important special cases are the Fisher‐Pitman randomization test, the Mann‐Whitney U‐test, the Mantel‐Haenszel‐test and the exact test for 2× k contingency tables. The algorithm needs polynomial time and is of use even for personal‐ or microcomputers.
