//                        class header file
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// A canopy pseudo-random number generator. Using the Tausworthe 
// exclusive-or shift register, a simple Integer Coungruence generator, and
// the Hurd 288 total bit shift register, all XOR'd with each other, we
// provide an engine that should be a fairly good "mother" generator.
//
// This is similar to DualRand, with the addition of the Hurd288Engine.
// From DualRand, we have the following:
//   Exclusive or of a feedback shift register and integer congruence
//   random number generator.  The feedback shift register uses offsets
//   127 and 97.  The integer congruence generator uses a different
//   multiplier for each stream.  The multipliers are chosen to give
//   full period and maximum "potency" for modulo 2^32.  The period of
//   the combined random number generator is 2^159 - 2^32, and the
//   sequences are different for each stream (not just started in a
//   different place).
// The above is then amended to also add in the exclusive or of the 
// 288-total bit Hurd engine which in this case is a series of 32 
// interconnected 9-bit shift registers, with the newest bit of each register
// formed by the XOR of the previous bit and some bit b-d from a previous
// register where d is chosen to create a primitive polynomial to maximize
// the period.
