Re: Saving and reading rng state from (ascii) file?

[Jan Kreft]

Alex,

sorry I didn't find it. I noticed the links to the User Guide, but since
they brought me back to the home page, I concluded that the link was
broken and some feature of the webserver brought up the home page as a
default for such a case.

Also, scanning Documentation for "Swarm User Guide", I missed
"Beta User Guide to Swarm", though it's obviously the same. I'm a bit
old-fashioned and expect identical names of a book on the book's cover
page and in a citation referring to that book. So I scan a list for an
entry starting with "Swarm User ...". And give up when not found. And then
bother the mailing-list. Sorry.

Best, Jan.
