NAME
       TESTING/MATGEN/slaran.f

SYNOPSIS
   Functions/Subroutines
       real function slaran (iseed)
           SLARAN

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   real function slaran (integer, dimension( 4 ) iseed)
       SLARAN

       Purpose:


            SLARAN returns a random real number from a uniform (0,1)
            distribution.

       Parameters
           ISEED

                     ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4)
                     On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array
                     elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be
                     odd.
                     On exit, the seed is updated.

       Further Details:


             This routine uses a multiplicative congruential method with modulus
             2**48 and multiplier 33952834046453 (see G.S.Fishman,
             'Multiplicative congruential random number generators with modulus
             2**b: an exhaustive analysis for b = 32 and a partial analysis for
             b = 48', Math. Comp. 189, pp 331-344, 1990).

             48-bit integers are stored in 4 integer array elements with 12 bits
             per element. Hence the routine is portable across machines with
             integers of 32 bits or more.
