Hi, Is it possible to generate consistent random numbers across multiple operating systems. For example, consider the following file: math.randomseed(1000) print(math.random()) print(math.random()) print(math.random()) If I process this using texlua, the output on linux and MacOS is different. Is it possible to get consistent output? Rationate: I use randomization to randomize certain paths in metapost. Not all randomly generated paths look okay, so I play around with the seed until I get a good path. But I have to repeat this process everytime I update my distribution and if I compile on different machines. Thanks, Aditya
