  CONST
      RandSeed : LongInt = 0;    { seed for random number generator }
 
  Unit:     System (used automatically)
 
  Context:  Random, Randomize
 
  Description
 
    RandSeed holds the current seed used by the Random function, a
    pseudorandom-number generator.
 
    Assign a known value to RandSeed to generate a predictable series
    of numbers.
 
    Start the series with an unpredictable number by calling the
    Randomize procedure. Randomize sets RandSeed to an unpredictable
    number taken from the system time.
