The original developers of "noise" re-released it last year under a much
more liberal license, so that it should be possible to incorporate parts
of it into other programs. Unfortunately, I am not a programmer and
can't do much with it myself. It is waiting for someone with an interest
in entropy on DOS machines to take on the project.

The noise source is available on my website at
"http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/index.html".
