Did anybody out there ever try Knuth's Spectral Test on the random generator of the HP28/48? For interested people, the formula is X(k+1) = X(k) * 2851130928467 (mod 10^15) . Observe that there is no addition; this makes it a little bit harder to apply the spectral test, because it has to be adapted (otherwise I would have done it myself). Did anybody at HP already do it? (Reference: D.E. Knuth: You-know-what; Vol. 2) Thanks, Jurjen -- | | "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what | | Jurjen N.E.
