 .I Random
 uses a non-linear additive feedback random number generator employing a
 default table of size 31 long integers to return successive pseudo-random
-numbers in the range from 0 to 2\u\s731\s10\d\-1.  The period of this
-random number generator is very large, approximately 16*(2\u\s731\s10\d\-1).
