	I have found that the random number generators available on
different hardware and operating systems are often incompatible.
Is there available a standard portable f77 routine which generates 
random numbers, and does not require a "seed" to get started, with
no hardware or system dependence?
	I already know about the Numerical Recipes routines; is there
something better available?
