greetings, would it be beneficial to have the use of and output of the generated random source, as in (make-random-source) => s, described? ie, to make it possible for somebody else to generate random floating point numbers from s it is neccessary to know what the output looks like (say 0 or 1, or #t or #f), and how to get it (say (s 'bit)). i admit that this kind of thinking would (ultimatly) lead to the removal of all but one, (random-source? s), of the random-source procedures and their replacement by (s 'randomize) (s 'state) (s 'state new-state) but i still think that the question is worth asking. moreover, it could be that (s 'bit) should really be (random-source-bit s) and the whole oo concept could be avoided :-) bengt
