Subject: Random Number Generators

NetLandians,

I'm busily collecting various Random Number Generators (RNGs for now).
One friend on the net pointed me at Prof. Arne Thesen, an engineer at
Univ of Wisconsin-Madison.  The kind professor mailed me several of his most
interesting papers, and I'm busily trying to understand them.

One hack of one of his algorithms is in my directory, ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID,
available via Anonymous FTP.  TurboPascal, demo version only, using the
Tausworthe Algorithm.  Nice code.  Other techniques will be available, plus
a full copy of his most pertinent two papers, as I get the time.

Professor Thesen kindly placed his work in the Public Domain, with the
condition that credits remain with the code/articles.

Regards,
David Kirschbaum

P.S.: excuse the Pascal hack - I'm only a novice in the language.
