[Randtest-develop] longruns.c and .txt

[Mike R. <er...@es...>]

It's taken me quite a while to get the formulas in section 3.4 of the NIST
RNG docs to work for large values of M (blocksize).  The next step will be
to actually code up the long runs test and use the results of the
formulas.  

Since it's holiday time, I suspect it will be a long time in coming for
anything new.  If anyone looks at either longruns.c or longruns.txt (in
the "doc" area) please let me know what I've done wrong.  What I compute
is close to what is printed in the NIST docs, but not the same.  But my
exact calculation and the "large approximation" match for M=1000.  So if
I've got a systematic error, I'd really appreciate someone pointing it
out.

Happy holidays everybody! 

Patience, persistence, truth,
Dr. mike
