Dear All
Could anyone tell me how to seed the random number generator ?
I can do:
Randomize;
writeln(Random);
but I want something like:
RandSeed(67); // SeedRandom ??
writeln(Random);
Many thanks
Ian

This question comes exactly at the right time. :-) The latest snapshot,
released last Friday (19990813) contains a SeddRandom procedure in the
GPC unit. With earlier versions, you're out of luck...
