Not to nitpick, but for assembly, the recommended (and probably best)
replacement random seed is RndSeed. IM I under Random in QuickDraw
mentions this. RndSeed changes by the number of ticks since the
last change in mouse button state. It may also change in other places.
You are least likely to get a repeated sequence this way, unless the
change is happening at startup time (not too many mouse clicks then).
