Andrew,

Thanks.  This gave me a good start, I came up with the following idea to generate a starting point for each time the code is executed:

param utc := prod {1..2} (gmtime()-1000000000);
param seed := utc - 100000*floor(utc/100000);
check sum{1..seed} Uniform01() > 0;

It would be nice to have a seed function :=)

Currently the seed function is not implemented. However, you may
skip some pseudo-random numbers as follows:

param SEED := 1000;
check sum{1..SEED} Uniform01() > 0;

This is not elegant though works.
