Each random seed will generate one unique pattern&cr;&lf;of random values. &cr;&lf;&cr;&lf;the values generated are fully reproducible and are not random in any sense. You can build your patches on the fact, that each  random spread with the same seed will genereate exactly the same values on all machines. &cr;&lf;if you dont need that behaviour, build a patch which will calculate an unique seed out of something like the MAC adress of your machines and the system time.  |" slices="0">
