/*
   This Random Number Generator is based on the algorithm in a FORTRAN
   version published by George Marsaglia and Arif Zaman, Florida State
   University; ref.: see original comments below.
   At the fhw (Fachhochschule Wiesbaden, W.Germany), Dept. of Computer
   Science, we have written sources in further languages (C, Modula-2
   Turbo-Pascal(3.0, 5.0), Basic and Ada) to get exactly the same test
   results compared with the original FORTRAN version.

      and  Helmut  Weber <WEBER@DWIFH1.BITNET>

   This random number generator originally appeared in "Toward a Universal
   Random Number Generator" by George Marsaglia and Arif Zaman.
   Florida State University Report: FSU-SCRI-87-50 (1987)
   It was later modified by F. James and published in "A Review of Pseudo-
   random Number Generators"
   THIS IS THE BEST KNOWN RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR AVAILABLE.
   (However, a newly discovered technique can yield
   a period of 10^600. But that is still in the development stage.)
   It passes ALL of the tests for random number generators and has a period
   of 2^144, is completely portable (gives bit identical results on all
   machines with at least 24-bit mantissas in the floating point
   representation).
   The algorithm is a combination of a Fibonacci sequence (with lags of 97
   and 33, and operation "subtraction plus one, modulo one") and an
   "arithmetic sequence" (using subtraction).

   Use IJ = 1802 & KL = 9373 to test the random number generator. The
   subroutine RANMAR should be used to generate 20000 random numbers.
   Then display the next six random numbers generated multiplied by 4096*4096
   If the random number generator is working properly, the random numbers
   should be:
           6533892.0  14220222.0  7275067.0
           6172232.0  8354498.0   10633180.0

   This is the initialization routine for the random number generator.
   NOTE: The seed variables can have values between:    0 <= IJ <= 31328
                                                        0 <= KL <= 30081
   The random number sequences created by these two seeds are of sufficient
   length to complete an entire calculation with. For example, if sveral
   different groups are working on different parts of the same calculation,
   each group could be assigned its own IJ seed. This would leave each group
   with 30000 choices for the second seed. That is to say, this random
   number generator can create 900 million different subsequences -- with
   each subsequence having a length of approximately 10^30.
