+# Download Mersenne Twister code.  See lib/util/randmersenne.c for URL.
+# Edit mt19937ar.c:
+#   In function main() at bottom of file, replace
+#     init_by_array(init, length);
+#   with
+#     init_genrand(5489UL);
+#
+# We need only the output of genrand_int32().
+# Remove the second loop which produces double-precision floating point
+# random numbers with genrand_real2().
+#
+# Compile: gcc mt19937ar.c -o mt1000
+# Execute: ./mt1000
+
+# 1000 may seem like a large number of samples but there is a reason
+# for this.  The generator produces random integers in batches of 624.
+# The number of samples must be larger than 624 to ensure proper
+# generation in batches after the first.
