Introduction

RandomOps is a small source-code library implementing a high quality Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in the ANSI C programming language. The PRNG implemented in RandomOps is based on the ran2 algorithm from the book 'Numerical Recipes in C' by Press et al., but is implemented from scratch here with a number of modifications.
