Has anyone pushed much on Apollo's (unsupported) assmebler.  I need
to get all 64 bits of mult of two 32 bit integers.. a 68000 mult long
instruction, but don't see any way to generate this instruction from
Pascal/C/Fortran...

When calling the BSD4.2 RAND() in CLIB from Pascal, I seem to get the
System V version of RAND(), despite the SYSTYPE="BSD4.2".  Yes, writing
a C language cover function with #systype "bsd4.2" works, but isn't
there a way to call RAND() directly?

Any other random number generators out there to feed my Apollo?
