A PRNG is a pseudo random number generator - "pseudo" here expresses the fact that a computer is a deterministic device, so some tweaking is necessary to make it difficult to predict the next "random" number ... You can get an implementation for Ruby here: http://rubyvm.sourceforge.net/subprojects/randomr/ Best regards, Axel -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
