Another thing I'm working on: is trying to get true random

Since random isn't truly random. I'm thinking of trying to implement something like the following. I'd like opinions on it and how I'd do it (not necessarily code), but what to look for and where to find it. Remember you're still talking to a noob.
Put a field: fldPickAnyNumber (pick a number between 1-99999999999)
Code: Select all
set the randomSeem to fld "fldPickAnyNumber"
put random line into fld "fldImMoreRandom
"
Opinions?

Look-up uuid.
I think it's 100 years at a million a day before you get to a .01 chance of repeating it.

EDIT: sure is.

I think I missed something: what changed, and in which version?

Hi Richard,
I thought it came in around 6.5.
Am I wrong in it's uniqueness?
