See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;258000 > particularly why you needed to do this. It was simple more convenient and useful for me, in that I didn't have to maintain state about Crypto API across entropy generation calls. Since typically (in my code) CryptGenRandom will be called exactly once, at application start up when the PRNG is seeded, there didn't seem to be much reason to keep the whole thing around in memory throughout the application's execution. It also made the code cleaner. -Jack ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
