Many thanks, Mark,
That's far better than an algorithm, (true random numbers, not pseudo
ones ! ). I'll use it for "serious research" simulation programs, but
not in the standalone I'll distribute to the students. I do not want
random.org to be drowned under simultaneous queries from 70 people
during their practicals !
All the best
Jacques

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
