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.
