I''m new to c++ and the only way I know to generate random numbers is in the library with the function rand(). This works great except of course that it is only pseudo-random. How do I generate true random numbers? Thanks Dan Grostick

A long time ago, I wrote an rng based on that.

I should probably rewrite it...
