Can anyone point me in the direction of a routines to do
random number generation. The requirements are as follows.

	A routine which will generate a integer between a given
		minimum and maximum value. Up to Integer'First and Integer'Last

	A routine which will do the same for floats i.e. a random
		value from Float'First to Float'Last but between two
		given values.

The values of the min and max value for the above routines
are not known at compile time, hence why I don't thing
I can use Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random

Any help would be very much appreciated (please also e-mail
a copy of relies as the news feed is a little unreliable here)

Thanks a lot,

	Nigel
