Random number generators typically generate values between 0 and 1.0. You would have to multiply the values by 255 to get the range you want. I never heard of a server offering such a service; typically it is a function called "rand", "rnd" or something similar that you incorporate in the software that needs the random values. The values are actually pseudo random numbers since the function generates a sequence of random numbers based on a starting "seed". The same seed will give you the same sequence of random numbers every time. If your computer has Fortran or C installed, you should have everything you need. I think PL/1 probably has one also. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
