I would like to know the formulae used by the random number generator of Free Pascal; i.e., the value of multiplier and the adding term.

Have a look at the rtl sources... rtl/inc/system.inc

In case you are intersted in random nos, attached is an improved rand no generator + test program for fpc, based on the mersenne twister... see the references. We are considering using this as a better? or alternate rand no generator in fpc...but at present the one in the source is a more convention algorithm.
