  \Package -- Directory containing the C code of the generator. 
              The package consists of the following files:
               gkls.c -- the main file;
	       gkls.h -- the header file that users should include in their 
	                 application projects in order to call subroutines from
	                 the file gkls.c;
	       rnd_gen.c -- the file containing the uniform random number
	                    generator proposed by D.Knuth (1997);
	       rnd_gen.h -- the header file for linkage to the file rnd_gen.c;
	       example.c -- an example of the GKLS-generator usage;
	       Makefile  -- an example of a UNIX makefile provided to UNIX users 
	                    for a simple compilation and linkage of separate files
	                    of the application project.
