It's known that Randomize() is not effective when called rapidly... I tried to solve this using the code sample below. I can cat /dev/null (without becoming root) but when I run the code below I get an access denied RTE at 'Reset(f,1);'.. this code works fine when run as root... anyone have a suggestion?
-Alan procedure SuperRandomize; var f: file of cardinal; Card: Cardinal; begin Assign(f,'/dev/random'); Reset(f,1); read(f,Card); RandSeed := Card; close(f); end; _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
