Thank you all for all the discussion and education. I've learned a great deal from this. I've changed my original snake-oil RNG seed generator to use the results of the Window Performance Counter (a very high resolution clock). The trials that I've run and compared side by side appear to gener

Brian (et al), Here's what I'm doing. I'm using the RTL's random number generator in this thing, but what I'm counting on more than the randomization of the Sleep times is the fact that Windows takes a different amount of time to complete each system call, code segment, etc. (and hence each Slee
