      From: klee@unibwm.de              If I execute the following batch:              @echo off       echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%       pause              by double clicking in explorer, I get these results:              32421 2119 21482 14360 29755 3072       32464 10777 24341 32271 4 21351       32529 29137 21176 22017 9688 1582       32575 15774 9130 31224 23020 23788       32621 2412 29853 7662 3584 13226       32660 321 14847 1510 29055 27579              The first use of %random% always gives nearly the       same value. Is this a Microsoft feature or a bug?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
