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.
