heres a routine

.data

RndInit dd 1110111011100111101110011001b

.code

Random proc
; Entry: al = size of random number
; Return: eax = random number, cl bits in size

mov cl,al
xor eax,eax
mov bl,byte ptr RndInit
and bl,1

EVEN
Gen_bit: ; make n bit numbers
shl eax,1
mov edx,RndInit ; Copy seed

shr edx,9
xor bl,dl

shr edx,5
xor bl,dl

bt ebx,1 ; Copy bit 1 to carry flag
rcr RndInit,1 ; Rotate seed right 1 bit

setc bl ; Set bl TRUE if carry is set
or al,bl
dec cl
jnz Gen_bit

ret
Random endp
