I'm writing a program that requires a cryptographically secure random 
number generator. I found CPMLibGenerateRandomBytes() in the header 
files and a slide from PalmSource 2002. It seems to work on my Tungsten 
C, but I'd like more info before I start using it. Does anyone know more 
about this function?

* Does it work? (when CPMLib itself is present)
* Is it OK to use despite the apparent lack of documentation?
* Does it use good entropy sources internally?
* Do I need to call CPMLibAddRandomSeed() myself to get good results? 
  My fundamental problem is a lack of good entropy sources, so if I 
  need to call CPMLibAddRandomSeed() then I'm no better off than if I 
  wrote my own RNG.
