Ok, I can actually think of two ways. Write your own generator in BASIC (slow) or treating the bytes of the firmware as random and PEEKing them, though the latter isn't necessarily constant/predictable between firmware versions. Either way it seems unfortunate if we have lost the "native" functionality. Best Regards, Tom
