The actual method is an internal, non-public method called setRandomNumberGenerator(int). Agreed, not a good name, nor is it public. I'll think about making it public; in the meantime, you *probably* can just make it public in Console.java. It'll be fine as long as it's not being called from within the simulation thread proper -- that is, from within a Steppable. If you call it from some GUI object or from your main() thread, you're probably fine. Sean On Aug 15, 2007, at 6:58 PM, Glen E. P.
