Hi Jacques,

You can find a library for random.org here: <http://economy-x-talk.com/developers.html >.

I have never seen any specific documention on the algorithm behind Rev's built-in random function. I suspect it is a standard C++ function.

Hi,

Does somebody know which algorithm is hidden behind the random function ? Native random number generators have usually a poor reputation, and I need trustable random numbers. I have translated the Mersenne twister algorithm which works OK, but slowly (47 milliseconds for 1000 numbers against five for the random function). If the native function is a good one, I'll keep it...

Thanks for any hint
