For one-stop shopping for random numbers:

Hi Rick. Sounds like you are using an older version of MC tools stack.

zero error when I open the script editor the involved line is not in

repeat until MCH >glower
put random(gupper) into MCH

I have the following script to generate a random number between upper
and lower limits. It works without a hitch on the Mac. When I run it on
the Windows platform I preiodically get a divide by zero error at line
810 column 20. When I open the script the cursor is flashing in front of
