I was playing blackjack (BASIC program) on SIMH with my OS/8 RL02 image. I noticed that
every time I played the game the cards drawn were identical, both by the dealer and
myself! A loop to print RND(0) ten times always shows the same ten numbers... doesn't
sound very random to me :)
Is this an artifact of SIMH, or BASIC? (Will it go away when I run the program on the real
8/A)?
thanks
