In my world of software testing it is also quite advantageous to be able to craft "random" data streams but in a way that is reproducible in order to be able to recreate a situation that might cause an error. Setting the random seed to a known value before starting this process and saving the random seed used is the key to repeatable randomness. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
