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