Well, they're extremely useful in telling what those routines do, so I don't understand your complaint. Anyway, since rand(x) generates a random number in the range 0 <= n < x, it should be trivial to map that to the range a <= n < b, right? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
