the problem is that the tex/mp randomizers are based on time and therefore too fragile (too little resolution) on fast machines; so i let texexec set the seed
So even in the case where the TeX code contains \setupsystem[seed=212], texexec does some additional calculations? (The error I got made me think that the number I entered was directly used in TeX calculations.)
it does the calculation but the following setup does it again; this is why the texexec patch is needed (although i never ran into such large number side effects) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
