# 164035 06-Nov-2006 dds

Do What I Mean when the user asks for random integers or characters.
Up to now jot would fail to generate the last character in the range
or skew the integer distribution in a way that would generate the numbers
in the range's limits with half the probability of the rest.

This modification fixes the program, rather than documenting the
strange behavior, as suggested in docs/54879.

Also, correctly specify the range of random(3).

Restore jot's ability to use a seed for producing a deterministic
sequence of random numbers.
This functionality was lost in revision 1.9 when the random number
generator was switched to arc4random.

# 55515 06-Jan-2000 sheldonh

Back out rev 1.11, about which bde had concerns, and instead implement
appropriate bounds-checking and typecasts based on our knowledge of
the desired conversion format specifier.

Simplify diagnostics and take care to print the correct conversion
format specifier when %l is involved.


# 50477 27-Aug-1999 peter

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 48995 22-Jul-1999 sheldonh

Improve printf(3) conversion specifier parsing so that silly formats
aren't allowed and the right casts can be used for printf() statements.

Document the conversion specifier limitations and the fact that
arithmetic overflow causes a fatal error.

# 48792 12-Jul-1999 nik

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
