Subject: random numbers

I need a Modula-2 procedure to generate psuedo random numbers for an IBM
PC. In general I need a good algorithm for any machine with 16 bit integers,
that has a good long cycle life and uniform distribution (can be 'C' or
Pascal).

Also, does anyone have an algorithm to generate random numbers with a
NORMAL distribution. If anyone has anything, please send it in the mail,
I can't FTP from this account. Thanks in advance....
