--  Extended pseudo-random number generation

--  This package provides a type representing pseudo-random number
--  generators, and subprograms to extract various distributions of numbers
--  from them. It also provides types for representing initialization values
--  and snapshots of internal generator state, which permit reproducible
--  pseudo-random streams.

--  The generator currently provided by this package has an extremely long
--  period (at least 2**19937-1), and passes the Big Crush test suite, with
--  the exception of the two linear complexity tests. Therefore, it is
--  suitable for simulations, but should not be used as a cryptographic
--  pseudo-random source without additional processing.

--  The design of this package effects some simplification from that of
--  the standard Ada.Numerics packages. There is no separate State type;
--  the Generator type itself suffices for this purpose. The parameter
--  modes on Reset procedures better reflect the effect of these routines.
