I could not find any mention of a random number generator in the LSC manual. Does one exist? If not, are there any modules out there for implementing random numbers? Thanks, Dave Zubrow zubrow@c.cs.cmu.edu zubrow@andrew.cmu.edu

In the Mac ROMS, there are several Rnadom number related routines, notably, Random. . . .
