2 * This version of rand() has been lifted from Ancient UNIX, and modified

3 * to match the version used in TI's TCS211 GSM firmware, as revealed by

4 * disassembly of rand.obj in the rts16le_flash.lib binary library used

5 * by that semi-src package. TI's version (most likely from their compiler

7 * same trivial implementation of rand() as the original Ancient UNIX libc,

8 * but with one change: TI's return value is right-shifted by 16 bits

9 * compared to what the Ancient UNIX rand() would have returned.

10 * The caller thus gets back only 15 pseudo-random bits rather than 31,

17 * of rand() is quite poor, but my plan is to look into possibly adopting
