The PragmAda reusable components includes an implementation of
Marsaglia's "universal" random number generator, and I may have a copy
of the 83 version around somewhere. In any case, there are not too many
95-isms in the 95 version, so you could clean it up yourself pretty
easily. It includes a function that returns a uniformly distributed
integer in a given range, which is "vaguely similar to
Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random". It should also be completely portable
once converted completely to Ada 83.
