I'll be the first to admit, I think most of this "delphi compatibility" is crap. But there is a BIG difference between being compatible, and being totally unusable. Clearly many here have listed that they use Random in a recursion function, and in such a case the HUGE speed penalty makes the current Random() implementation unsuitable and unusable. Will an implementation like Waldo Kitty suggested be a suitable compromise? If so, I'll go ahead and create a patch. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
