Why can't FPC automatically call randomize() in the RTL. Put it in some initialization section. That way, at application startup, randomize() is already called and only Random() needs to be used? I could never figure out why this wasn't done in Delphi either? After all, if you use Random(), you want something random, yet many developers make the common mistakes of not calling Randomize() or calling it to often. If FPC handled that for us, nobody would every make those mistakes again!
