        I'm not so shure, I wrote a routine to text
some random stuff I wa working on a while back and I got
lumps all over the place in it.
The routine graphically showed how many times each
possible number showed up, after several thousand
itterations the  graph, which shoul've been a near perfect
straight line. showed peaks and valleys, thes peaks
and valleys showed up early and just kept growing throughout
the run.

Bob, that's OK.  Few of us, if any, are experts in the crypto field.  I'v=
e
been in this stuff for a while.  Knowledgeable people I know have advised=

me that such random number generators (including Euphoria's) are not
suitable for cryptographic use, as you may have just re-inforced, which i=
s
fine with me.
