If you have a compuserve account, in the Digitalk forum, there's a series of 
random number classes that have been posted and work just fine, using all 
sorts of arcane mathematical stuff.  Many more types of randoms than you could 
possibly want.  Type GO DIGITALK and look in the 'user contributions' section.

There's random built into ParcPlace, btw.....

Tom
