Random Number Wizard

Random Number Wizard generates random numbers between user-specified limits (inclusive). Duplicates and specific values can be excluded from the random number generation process. The results can be copied and pasted into other programs (e.g., a spreadsheet). The specific list of the features are as follows:

• Filtering: Duplicates and/or specific values can be excluded from generation process.

• Copy List: Users can copy the generated dataset to other programs of their choice (e.g., a spreadsheet).

• User's Guide: A user's guide is included that describes how Random Number Wizard works. The user's guide comes in both web (HTML) and .pdf formats. The web version is linked to within the program under the "Help" menu, so users have easy access to it. An Internet connection is not required either, since the web version is located within Random Number Wizard's directory. The .pdf format requires a .pdf reader such as the free Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view it.

• Update Check: Random Number Wizard has the ability to check djburnette.com for updates to the program. If an update is found, then the user is presented with links to details about the new version and to download the updated version.

• Random Number Generation Notice : Random Number Wizard generates pseudo-random number according to the laws of mathematics. Random numbers generated by computers are not truly random though because computers utilize a specific algorithm in order to generate random numbers. Therefore, the results may be predictable to someone who knows the algorithm.

• Microsoft .NET Framework Notice: Random Number Wizard uses Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. If the .NET Framework is not installed, then setup will automatically download it and install it for you. Do note though that the download size exceeds 16 MB (compressed), which could take some time on slower Internet connections.
