Delphi documentation mentions a lot of things you mustn't do... Does that stop anybody. ;-) Like I said, I didn't write that code, and I don't specialise in encryption algorithms. But Florian might be right, the RandSeed assignment might have been added due to the bad random generator of Delphi - hopefully the original author of the code can shed some light. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
