Hi all.

What is the best way to initialize the RNG's ?

For the Mersenne-Twister RNG for example, the help talks about a 625
entries vector (I dunno how you would provide one practically/easily)
or by setting an integer between [0,2^32[. In C you would use
time-related functions but is there some recommended way to initilaize
the seed in Scilab ?

Regards.
