I'm not sure what you're asking. Using rFloat on uniformRandom is just
a matter of sending the message to the object.

  float f;
  f = [uniformRandom rFloat];

(btw, anyone know how to correctly generate a random double from
random 32 bit integers? rFloat is easy - floats (usually) have less
than 32 bits of precision, so you just divide the number by the
maximum possible value. But doubles usually have more than 32 bits of
mantissa, so you have to somehow convolve two random integers. libg++
just casts the bits directly into the mantissa of the floating point
number, but that scares me.)
