PKS Version 1.0 Public Key System routines are derived from the article; 'Public Key Cryptography: An Introduction to a powerful crypto- graphic system for use on microcomputers" by John Smith found in BYTE magazine Volume 8, Number 1, January, 1983. The routines here are MBASIC compatible and differ from the published routines only in handling of the BASIC function RND. MBASIC RND with an argument of zero simply returns whatever number was last generated. The MBASIC command RANDOMIZE is used to seed the random number generator with a number from 0 to 32767 by computing; N mod 32768. This change appears in both TESTPRIM.BAS and FINDPRIM.BAS.
