RANDOM Specify Random Number Generator

Use the RANDOM command to specify the pseudo-random number generator that Blossom should use. The syntax for the RANDOM command is:

        RANDOM = DEFAULT
        - or -
        RANDOM = MT
        - or -
        RANDOM

By default Blossom uses a multiplicative congruential algorithm. To invoke the Mersenne Twister algorithm, use the command RANDOM=MT. To reinstate the default algorithm, use the command RANDOM=DEFAULT. If the command is given as simply RANDOM, Blossom will display the syntax for the RANDOM statement and display the current random number generator.
