Abstract: This pseudo random number generator subroutine, when

called repeatedly, will return a sequence of 12-bit numbers which, though

deterministic, appears to be drawn from a random sequence uniform over

the interval 0000₈ to 7777₈. Successive numbers will be found statistically

uncorrelated. The sequence will not repeat itself until it has been called

over 4 billion times. (See DECUS NO. FOCAL8-1.)
