AIRES library reference: clockrandom.

c
c     Routine directly callable from C/C++ (it could be necessary to
c     append an underscore, "_", to its name depending on the C/C++
c     compiler used).
c
c
      function clockrandom()
c
c     This function returns a uniformly distributed (interval (0, 1))
c     pseudorandom number generated with the current clock and CPU
c     usage lectures.
c
c     WARNING: THIS FUNCTION IS NOT FOR USE AS A HIGH QUALITY RANDOM
c              NUMBER GENERATOR.
c
c     Multiple calls may return correlated numbers if there is no
c     enough time between invocations. Nevertheless, a sequence of
c     different numbers passes direct 1d and 2d chisquare tests,
c     ensuring a minimum quality for the generated numbers.
c
c     This routine is intended for special applications like
c     generating a single random seed, for example.
