we could consider changing 1440 by 2880 in the next code (in texexec) my ($sec, $min) = gmtime; my $RandomSeed = ($min * 60 + $sec) % 1440; ideas welcome ...

I know. But I tried to use larger numbers, e.g., to copy the values of a previous run from the line systems : randomizer starts with 379377681 yet always get the above error. What is the reason for this line if not to copy the number into \setupsystem? rgeards, Christopher Creutzig

this is why i sent the patch for texexec (1440 -> 2880) 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 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

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.) Christopher

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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
