Talbot's probsoln package uses his generator to modify/pick the problems 
and I would like to use it to pick n and i randomely in the main file.

This is the closest I have come to something I could use and, for all I 
know, might be exactly it.

The trouble is that I cannot read his code and, even less, if need be, 
extract his pseudo-random number generator to modify it for my own purpose.

Very grateful and hopeful regards
