Take two integers c and m both positive and a third one: z0. Get z1 = c*z0 mod m
and so on replacing z0 by z1 by z2.... zi/m can be used as a pseudo random
number between 0 and 1, taken from "Taschenbuch der Mathematik", Bronstein,
Semendjajew
if you take c= 1993 , m=12893 ,z0=17 you get z1=8095(rand:0.62786), z2=8685...
