The opcode Seed effects the results of Linrand, but not 
of Birnd,  and I find this a little strange. 

My desire was an orchestra whose performance could be 
repeatable or effected completely by the one Seed value.  

FYI  I am filling ftables with the output of Linrand, then drawing 
numbers from the tables for various purposes.  This is satisfactory, 
however I have no bipolar form of Linrand, as Birnd is uneffected 
by Seed. 

The wonderful generators of Gen21 appear to be unseedable. 

Would it be desireable to alter Birnd to operate like Linrand, 
and to be effected by Seed ?  I doubt this would not be 
backward compatible or break existing pieces. 

Alternatively an option could be added to Linrand to coerce 
a bipolar output.  

It would be interesting to hear the thoughts of others.
