Message-ID: <5401@ecsvax.uncecs.edu> Date: 23 Sep 88 17:01:27 GMT Distribution: na Organization: UNC Educational Computing Service Lines: 27 I asked once before about RangeRand() and Manx' c.lib, and someone said it wasn't there, but in Amiga.lib instead. In fact, it is in both, but Amiga.lib doesn't come with Manx C so I'm stuck with Manx'. That's ok because, as Leo (wouldn't it be nice to be recognized the world over by your first name? :-) pointed out to me the dist. is poor at best. That is not the problem. The question is/should have been: Is the c.lib fully documented anywhere? I have the sources, but they only tell me what the code is. They don't substitute for docs. That is my main problem/complaint/question blah blah blah. The specific problem with RangeRand() is whether the seed (RangeSeed) is supposed to be public or not. I would hope so, but while working on my latest program I found I wanted to be able to seed the function, and the library source clearly shows it as not public. Is this a bug? I can fix it easily because I have the source, but I just want to know if that was an oversight in the .lib. Thank you for your support. -- Todd M. Lewis #include
