;            Simple implementation of the minimal standard
;            random number generator making use of the Lisp's
;            arbitrary precision arithmetic.  See the alternate
;            implementation with 32-bit arithmetic found in
;            minStdRandGenCL.lisp.
;            To run: clisp -norc -q smplMinStdRandGenCL.lisp
;
