Does anyone know the constants used in Borland's Turbo C linear
congruential PRNG used in their rand() function? I would guess it's
the same as for Borland Professional C++ and the other versions, but
don't know that for a fact.

I'm trying to replicate a DOS crypto-like program's operation on my
more convenient Linux box.

Thanks -
