Glancing at a few books handy on my shelf, I see: Ada Reference Manual A.5.2 "Random Number Generation" Ada as a second language, 2nd ed, 2.6.4 "Random Values" Programming in Ada 95, 2nd ed, 4.3 "Numeric Library" Ada 95 Problem Solving and Program Design, 2nd ed, 7.3 "Continuing Saga: Random Numbers and the Drunken Spider" For on-line resources, look at www.AdaPower.com Note that Ada 83 did not have a standard, official, random number package. Looking at a couple of older, Ada 83 vintage, texts, I see mentions that random numbers will be in Ada 9x or Ada 95.
