Description: The report is intended to describe an interim version of a computer program package for random number generation on the IBM System/360. The package, when called by a FORTRAN 4 program, will deliver either a single value or an array (of specified size) of single precision uniformly, normally, or exponentially distributed pseudo-random deviates, or a single value or an array of uniformly distributed integers between 1 and ((2 to the 31st power)-1). The package also has the ability (optional) to shuffle the pseudo-random numbers to obtain better statistical properties. (Author)
