    ABSTRACT:: Following Marsaglia and Dieter, the spectral test for linear
               congruential random number generators is developed from the
               grid or lattice point model rather than the Fourier transform
               model. Several modifications to the published algorithms were
               tried. One of these refinements, which uses results from
               lesser dimensions to compute higher dimensional ones, was
               found to decrease the computation time substantially. A
               change in the definition of the spectral test is proposed in
               the section entitled "A Question of Independence."
