I should have attributed that IDEA code fragment to Richard De Moliner
of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.  Now that I think about
it it probably would be fine to seed the dataIn with all zeros and
begin the URNG stream with the first output.  Only the key then would
need be known by two people to generate the same stream. 

I forgot the Mul() function and some constants.  They are included below.

#define mulMod        0x10001 /* 2**16 + 1                                    */
#define addMod        0x10000 /* 2**16                                        */
#define ones           0xFFFF /* 2**16 - 1                                    */

#define nofKeyPerRound      6 /* number of used keys per round                */
#define nofRound            8 /* number of rounds                             */

/* multiplication                                                             */

u_int32 Mul(a, b)

u_int32 a, b;
{
	int32 p;
  u_int32 q;
  
  if (a == 0)
		p = mulMod - b; 
  else if (b == 0)
		p = mulMod - a;
  else
	{
		q = a * b;
		p = (q & ones) - (q >> 16);
		if (p <= 0)
			p += mulMod;
	}
  return (u_int32)(p & ones);
} /* Mul */
