Yes, I expect there will be some new ones (or corrections to existing ones). > The other question I have is that at one point in time the maximum > number of rngs one could have was restricted by a macro in the sources > to be 100 (if I recall correctly -- I have a remark to that effect in my > own code's comments). The macro is really an internal implementation detail and not intended to be a limit (as far as I'm aware it's not publically accessible). There are currently about 60 generators so if you wanted to give them numbers 100 is too small but 1000 or 500 shouldn't be a problem. -- Brian Gough
