+**
+**  Generate pseudo-random real number in the range 0 <= x < 1.
+**
+**  (single precision)
+**
+**  This function is designed to replace the Fortran->C interface routine
+**  random(3f) on systems which do not have this library (for example Linux)
+**
+**  Fortran call:   X = RANDOM(ISEED)
+**
+**  Given:
+**     iseed     int     seed value
+**
+**     If iseed !=0  random-number generator is initialised and first number
+**                   is returned.
+**        iseed == 0 next number in the sequence is returned
