  We have the need to generate some small (< 100) integers on the
PDP-11.  It doesn't need to be of terribly high quality, it is
just going to be used to generate a constantly changing display on
a character cell terminal (VT100, etc.).
  I don't have access to the Fortran library. We're using RT-11 by
the way so if there's something on other OS's it doesn't help.
All I really need is some values for A & B in x(n+1) = A * x(n) + B
  Any ideas would be appreciated!
