   Gee, I feel silly. :-(  Yesterday, I posted a followup reference the
CERN program library for RANDU (it's there too) when I should have just
opened my FMs!  The above reference is also in the VMS V5.n, FORTRAN V5.0
FORTRAN User Manual, Appendix E, Section E.3.9.  ;-)   BTW, there are
*far* better pseudorandom number generators available these days.  I can
give a few references if anyone's interested, both from the ACM (is that
right?) and from SLAC's Numerical Analysis Group (send me E-mail, please).
