     NAME
          irand, srand, rand - Fortran uniform random-number generator

     SYNOPSIS
          call srand(iseed)

          i=irand()

          x=rand()

     DESCRIPTION
          irand generates successive pseudo-random numbers in the
          range from 0 to 2**15-1.  rand generates pseudo-random
          numbers distributed in (0, 1.0).  srand uses its integer ar-
          gument to reinitialize the seed for successive invocations
          of irand and rand.
