In a previous article (which was vaporized), Peter@Cambridge mentioned
a procedure from Knuth for generating pseudorandom numbers which was
an alternative to MLC methods, but which little was understood about
the properties of the numbers. I came across such a generator buried in
a well-known version of a familiar game. (I don't know if it's PD or
proprietary code, unfortunately, which is why I'm not naming names :-))

The comments accompanying the routine called the method a "linear feedback
shift register approach" and claimed that it "generated far better random
numbers than a linear congruential generator," though no mention was made
of testing procedures. 

My introduction to the issues in pseudorandom number generators came in the
appendix of "Computer Simulation in Genetics" by Jack L. Crosby (1973, Wiley).
I haven't yet seen the CACM article mentioned; possibly they rehashed some
of the things Crosby discussed.

Like Peter, I too am always on the lookout for a "better" random number
generator.

This is for my friend from Dept. of EE at Hunan University, Changsha, China.

Mr. YANG Jie, who is majoring in computer control and signal processing,
will be finacially sponsered by Chinese goverment as a visiting scholar
to go to North America for one to two year. He need a university to accept
his applications before the END of this year. He is really an experienced
scientist (holder of Sinica Academia Science awards for young scientists
in 1986, and Science and Technology Progress Awards in 1987). 
If you are willing to have him join your research group, please let me know,
or write to him directly.

                Gaithersburg, Maryland - August 24, 1989
     No computer is an island.  Increasingly, systems are being tied together
to improve their value to the organizations they serve.  This symposium will
explore the theoretical and practical issues in interfacing systems and in
enabling people to use them effectively.

I am looking for SPICE V2G models for the following transistors or their
equivalents
			2N2907
			2N2222
			2N6288

If SPICE models are not available I can also make do with the parameters 
for an Ebers-Molls (EM2) model of the above.  I'd appreciate any parameters
that are in the public domain or pointers to the same.  Please send
responses via E-mail.
					Thanx in advance,
