Yes I know most of them.
I have a hard copy of numerical recipes (The Pascal one!!) And a first edition of "TAOCP" which is rather a rare find.
Note most of the PRNG's I published are invented beyond the '80's and - on a whole - with a better distribution than NR.
(Test them with bigcrush! as per my wiki entry.) I can add some of the old school stuff, though: the newer ones are more like discoveries than science...
Also note that HRNG's are much older. <but you probably knew that >
I seem to have acquired four hard copies of NR, in C, Pascal and Fortran over the years, as well as several more recent electronic copies. It is too bad the licensing is not more flexible, I recently purged NR from my code in preparation to open source. A first edition of TAOCP is a nice find, I'd pick that up if I found a copy.
It is excellent to have more up to date algorithms available. I appreciate you pointing that out, I guess I should check to see if I am using older versions. I don't have a good understanding of RNGs, or follow the literature, so depend on experts such as yourself. I just need one sometimes, so like to have good code available. If you decide to add a few old school ones, that could be a nice addition. Also perhaps note which ones are modern improvements, so people like me don't continue to use dusty old code from the 80s.
And, no, I could not have told you that HRNGs are much older, interesting though.
