    random numbers - thanks to Steves GNU Smalltalk

    This implements a linear congruential maximum period random number generator

    which passes the spectral test for randomness for dimensions 2 3 4 5 6.

    DO NOT USE IT FOR CRYPTOGRAPHY, because linear congruential generators

    are predictable and can be broken easily!!

    Notice: although being included here,

            this file is NOT covered by the ST/X license, but by

            the FSF copyLeft (see copyright method).

            You can redistribute it under the terms stated there ...

            Also, the price you pay for ST/X does not include a charge for

            this file - it has to be considered as a separate piece of

            software, which can be copied and given away without any 

            restriction from my (CG) side.
