Has the WinSPMBT random number generator been tested for flatness over time? My Heathkit H8 Basic software would not generate certain x, y random combinations. I was pretty amazed that after many hours of running, it had not filled every possible character position of the display. 25 x 80 I believe. An array test showed the same result. The last time I tested Microsoft Basic (5 I believe) it didn't exhibit this x, y issue and it was flat over time.

If the standard Microsoft (Intel?) random number generator has been tested, then yes, but not by us.
Assuming that the random function used by Borland C++ Builder uses that, of course.
If you have a "standard" test for the random function - it might be useful to run that to see what results one gets?
