	Multiple thanks to everyone who sent me scripts or references.
I now have a working random # generator in Haskell, based on an ML library
function, which goes something like this :-

randlist :: Double -> [Double]
randlist seed = r : (randlist r)                    -- infinite list
		where 
		r = x - (fromInteger (floor x))
		x = seed * 147.0
	
	It's probably a bit more pseudo than random, but it's sufficient for
my purposes.

	Cheers,

		Dave Westland.
