Is anyone else fed up with ad hominum attacks? I replied in private mail that I depend upon the current behavior of the rand48 family of functions for thermal motion studies and studies of systems of hard-shell ions. The work isn't important; it's just something I like to do and that I'm interested in. If the functions change, I can use the old ones if I need to and if I understand what I'm doing. It's my problem. I really am tired of attacks, though. Play nice, eh? -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good
