For my demo programs, I did the following:

1.  Create a file randpool.dat from a machine with /dev/random.
2.  Copy randpool.dat over to NT.
3.  At the start of an application, call RAND_loadfile(...).
4.  At the end of the application, call RAND_writefile(...).


For production code, you must make sure to seed the PRNG properly, 
if you want security.
