<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm revising the HELP document which accompanies
[random].</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can somebody tell me how the object generates
numbers? Is it based on a fractal or some other quadratic equation?
What is the default seed and how is it chosen/determined? Is it based on
the computer's clock somehow? If a seed is provided at the right inlet,
which variable in the equation does it define?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way: I've revised the "operators.pd" and
"otherbinops.pd" files...available at <A
href="http://www.davesabine.com/media/puredata.asp?action=downloads">http://www.davesabine.com/media/puredata.asp?action=downloads</A>
along with my other HELP documents.</FONT></DIV>
