Ha! I'm not sure you've quite grasped the magnitude of the issue. I attached a small Perl program to my first post to demonstrate the problem. You can run that as many times as you like and you still get the same, *extremely* distorted, probability distribution. Please look at the problem before passing comment. > You keep saying 'C's rand'; I don't know what you mean. I'm referring to Acorn C in each of the places where you asked this. The shared C library provides rand() but you have to link with AnsiLib to get _ANSI_rand(). > Sorry if that seems critical, but your comments are unclear.
