(apologies if you see this twice --  I posted from another machine but
 it didn't seem to make it to the network)

Portable pseudo-random number generator desired, for uniform and/or normal
deviates.  What is desired is code (C preferred) or algorithm that is
machine independent (i.e. same seed, same sequence regardless of computing
platform).  Purpose will be to generate random datasets (or pointers into
databases) for benchmark tests accross several platforms.  Must be able to
generate several independent sequences 'simultaneously' (ok to have several
copies of routine with different names).

I am aware of routines in Numerical Recipies, and in Knuth, but unsure
of quality.  Would welcome any comments, suggestions, pointers to code,
or references.
