Gene, there is also a good random number generator in JFAR Vol 1 # 2 written
by William T. Doyle that I've used many times.  It also is slow, but has
highly predictable behaviour (when desired) and duplicates the FORTRAN
function IRN55.  If your routine takes more than 3 blocks of code, you might
want to check this one out.

The one included with the PolyForth graphics package is merely fast and small.
It was never intended to be "good".
