PBASIC Random Algorithm

Archiver

Hello,

I am looking to reproduce the PBASIC RANDOM function in one of my VB
programs. Has anyone took the time to figure out just how the Stamp
calculates random numbers based on the given seed?

Thanks,
Jared

Jared -

Here is a past message from the Stamp List archives which discusses the random
function. It does not give the exact algorithm but discusses how it might
be done.
