I need to get all 64 bits of mult of two 32 bit integers.. a 68000 mult long instruction, but don't see any way to generate this instruction from Pascal/C/Fortran... When calling the BSD4.2 RAND() in CLIB from Pascal, I seem to get the System V version of RAND(), despite the SYSTYPE="BSD4.2". Yes, writing a C language cover function with #systype "bsd4.2" works, but isn't there a way to call RAND() directly? Any other random number generators out there to feed my Apollo? -------
