lotto, freeware for OS/2 command-line (c) Kjetil Kilhavn 1995
This is a little program to draw your lotto numbers.
Actually it can be used as a random integer generator for any purpose.
Developed with C Set++ version 2.0 as my attempt at a useable class-implementation.
I have included both the static and dynamic link versions.
(The static was so big I decided to send both.)
Target processor is 486 (you know what pentiums do to numbers :-)
The program has its own random number generator based on generators in the book
Numerical Recipes in C; Press, Vetterling, Teukolsky and Flannery. (0-521-43108-5)
The generator has a period of 2.1 x 10^9, which should suffice for most people.
If you do not specify a seed for the generator a "random" one will be generated.
Options available:
-r<rounds> Rounds of draws to make
-n<numDraw> Numbers in one draw
-l<low> Low limit
-h<high> High limit
-s<seed> Seed for random sequence
Switches available:
/s Sorted order output
/p Pause between rounds
/u Unique numbers only
/c Copyright notice display
/h Help display
/? Help display
It's given me more income than expenses since I started using it 10 months ago.
This is freeware of course, who would pay for a silly little program like this.
If you win a lot, send me a postcard :-)
Next version, if there will be one will enable you to select different generators
and also be able to give floating-point output. It's in the class but not in the program.
