     28  * DESCRIPTION
     29  *
     30  * This file contains a simple, straightforward implementation of the Park
     31  * & Miller "Minimal Standard" PRNG [PM88, PMS93], which is a Lehmer
     32  * multiplicative linear congruential generator (MLCG) with a period of
     33  * 2^31-1.
     34  *
     35  * This implementation is intended to provide a reliable, portable PRNG
     36  * that is suitable for testing a hash table implementation and for
     37  * implementing skip lists.
     38  *
     39  * FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
     40  *
     41  * If initial seeds are not selected randomly, two instances of the PRNG
     42  * can be correlated.  [Knuth81, pp. 32-33] describes a shuffling technique
     43  * that can eliminate this problem.
     44  *
     45  * If PRNGs are used for simulation, the period of the current
     46  * implementation may be too short.  [LE88] discusses methods of combining
     47  * MLCGs to produce much longer periods, and suggests some alternative
     48  * values for A and M.  [LE90 and Sch92] also provide information on
     49  * long-period PRNGs.
