I am trying to start a small programming project that will output
pseudo-random numbers.
The program looks at the numbers produced and if that number equals a
predetermined value (20 in the case in the test program below) the
program will then catch this fact and perform a number of loops and
counts etc.

However I've fallen at the first hurdle.  I've heavily borrowed code
from Ada95 by Feldman/Koffman (thankyou!) and find that the program
sometimes sees the value 20 and on other occasions doesn't.
It's very tempermental. 
The code is below.  Ive definitely missed something.

   BEGIN -- Random_Numbers
   
      Random_50.Reset (Gen => G);  -- starts G from time of day clock

      for row in 1..15 loop
      
         Ada.Integer_Text_IO.Put
               (Item => Random_50.Random(Gen => G), Width => 8);
      
         if  Random_50.Random(Gen => G) = 20 then
            Ada.Text_io.put (Item => "Random Number is equal to
Twenty");

            Ada.text_io.new_line;
         end if;
         Ada.text_io.new_line;
      
      end loop;
   
   END Random_Numbers;
