Re: [Chicken-users] srfi-27 - producing pseudo and truly random numbers over a uniform distribution

[Ivan Raikov]

Hello,

    Does the random-mtzig egg do what you need? It can be seeded from
/dev/urandom, or with a constant supplied by the user, and you could
have multiple seed states that are passed to the random number
generating routines in the egg. I can also add some convenience
functions, if they would fit your needs better.
