Notes:
1.. PQ is a 7 2 - b i t number which can have one of the following
va h e s :

Condition L e f t 36 b i t s R i q h t 36 b i t s
F l o r F2=RCYQQ Q Q
F1 or F2=RCYfiQ 0 Q
Fl=RCYNC>TALUQ NOT A L U Q (must have AF<20B)
othe rwi s e P Q
The resulting P i n p u t i s the leftmost 3 6 b i t s of t h e c y c l e d 72-
bit number.
2.. A l s o s e t s H to (Y I 44B) If Y > 4 4 B , then l e t C = (Y IF PS
= PQ RCY Y ELSE 44B-Y MOD 100B IF PS = PQ RCY44E-Y) The P i n p u t
w i l l be PQ LCY (1,2,3) foy C = 77E,76E,75E. It w i l l be something
w e l l - d e f i n e d b u t u s e l e s s o t h e r w i s e , L e e , if H is s e t t o 1 t h e
r e s u l t i s probably wrong.
3. Note t h a t RCY44B-Y i s not the same as LCY Y , s i n c e i t is a l s o
n e c e s s a r y to exchange P and Q.
