Does anyone out there have code for a good, preferably *fast* floating-
point random number generator?  Currently, I'm doing something along the
lines of taking (Random() + 32768) / 65535 (with appropriate typecasts
to make sure I keep all the significant bits), but this seems a little...
kludgy, to say the least.

Sources appreciated, but code would be better...  :-)
