Thanks.

I actually found versions 0.1, 1.0, & 1.1 of the package on the TeXLive SVN
repository, which helped. What I did was create a file pst-marble-extra.pro
and included it with \pstheader. I defined /uniform-random-drops as a copy
of /uniform-drops (from pst-marble.pro) but replaced `drad` in the drop
command with `e random:uniform exp drad mul` (taken from version 1.1’s
/random-drops). That lets me reuse the command.

Now I’m going to let a compilation run for a couple hours, trying to
emulate a “stone” pattern….
