EXTERNAL (Interface to fixed-parameter generators)

These generators are included to provide a uniform interface to a wider range of PRNG. The only enhancements from the published code is the support for multiple streams of these generators, as the original code used global variables.

See the file src/external.c for the references. Included are

• TT800 (a large TSFR by M. Matsumoto)
• CTG (Combined Tausworthe Generator by P. L'Ecuyer)
• MRG (Multiple Recursive Generator by P. L'Ecuyer)
• CMRG (Combined (Multiple Recursive Generator by P. L'Ecuyer)
