on another note, if the only reason that you need random numbers is to choose a number from a list (<82, or <362), and the depth is being constrained to something reasonable, then what you need is not a super-duper random number generator, but just one that is good enough for the purposes at hand. and there are much, much faster ways to get at those beasties if you don't need for all n-length subsets of generated numbers to be uniformally distributed as vectors in n-dim space, for instance. s. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?
