-------------------------------------------------------------------

To install random number generator tests,
	extract all the files from datagen-1.7.0.tar.gz.
	change directory to rantest
	run insttest

You may run a comprehensive test with the following
script:

	test.sh

Datapat and xpat are run separately without parameters.

Browse rantest.html with your favorite browser to obtain
information about the test programs.

datapat.mak requires libncurses.  If you don't have
ncurses, don't compile datapat.mak.

xpat.mak requires Xlib.  If you don't have Xlib,
don't compile xpat.mak.

------------------------------------------------------
Non-Intel platforms:

Use source file rnd2.c    instead of rnd.s
Use source file rndpwr2.c instead of rndpwr.s
Use source file rndnum2.c instead of rndnum.s
Compile with the makefile nonintel.mak
Then install with insttest

	make -f nonintel.mak
	insttest

These randomizing routines have only been tested on
an Intel Linux platform.  Their performance on non-
Intel platforms is unknown at this point.  You may
want to reduce the size of the tests on non-Intel
platforms to speed them up.  The difference in
speed on an Intel platform is twenty times.  I.e.,
the assembler version is twenty times faster than
the C version.

------------------------------------------------------
To de-install the test routines, run:
	deinst
