For LCG parameter references take a look at:

Subject: Selecting parameters for LCGs

How can I select the optimal parameters for a linear congruential
generator?
I'm almost certain that this is in Kunth's _Seminumerical Algorithms_
among
other places, but is there any way I could find this on the Internet?
