How can I generate random numbers with Sharp's APL?

The utility workspace that comes with the IBM PC package uses
the []ts timestamp system variable however it doesn't do a good
enough job since I need to generate thousands of random numbers
a second.

Pretending that you don't smell the burning Jews isn't an excuse
for the defense of war crime atrocities against humanity. "I
didn't know" is no longer an excuse in the age of the Internet.


Random numbers are one of my interests so I clicked on the link
but got mish mosh instead of code. I then tried the "Click Here"
link and checked that I already have each of the fonts
listed. I reinstalled all of them just to make sure. I then
tried every APL font that I had including APL Net, APL Help, APL
Plus... etc.

I tried the firefox, latest Opera and IE browsers.

None worked.

Could someone please tell me how to view the code.

I must be stupid, not for being able to display the code but for having
the patience to waste time with this instead of going directly to J.

In fact, the hell with it. I've already started going to J so why
bother with this nonsense.

First, you need an APL Font which it sounds like you have. The link on the above page to fonts is: http://www.sigapl.org/font.htm

Second, in Firefox, you can change the page encoding from the default "Unicode (UTF-8)" to "Western (ISO 8859-1)" or "Western (Windows-252)". .
