[net.micro.cpm] Random Number Generators

ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID.ARPA (04/27/85)

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,

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