Thanks for all the replies on this issue. I now have the problem
sorted for discrete random values. However nobody has suggested
a solution for generating large random reals. I really need
to be able to generate random values in the range of
Float'Safe_First..Float'Safe_Last. Or perhaps a variable
sub-range of these. Any idea...

Thanks once more

	Nigel.
