DESCRIPTION

This routine sets the seed for kjb_rand. See kjb_seed_rand_with_3_short for an alternate interface. If neither of these functions are not used, then kjb_rand is seeded with 0 at the first invocation, and it is not seeded thereafter. However, an interface to this routine is exposed to the user through the option "seed". Thus this routine is not normally used. The first seed value is used in its entirety as the first part of a 48 bit seed. The two LSB of the second seed value are used for the remaining 16 bits.

NOTE

Since the user is normally exposed to the seeding options, this routine is rarely used by external modules.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
