A "null" seed is convention for telling the library to provide a good sequence without much hassle, but if a user says that the seed is zero, then it might be useful to honor that. One should read the doc. :-) Gilles > [...] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
