   @brief     Include file for the randFileC library@EOL
   @Keywords  random numbers files include
   @Std       C89

              Files full of random bit streams are a common way to
              preserve random number sequences, obtain cryptographic
              sequences, or store high quality sequences from physical
              generators.  Once one has a file in hand, one needs to
              turn it into a stream of random numbers usable for
              simulation.

              This library solves that problem by providing an
              interface to open multiple random number files and then
              return the contents of the files as a sequence of various
              integer types.

              Currently no support is provided for real types.  This
              may be implemented in a future version -- I have a good
              idea of how to do this very nicely for IEEE floating
              point systems.
