Description:
  Seed a context for on_random_number().
Parameters:
  s - [in]
  rand_context - [out] context to seed.

Remarks:
  on_random_number_seed() does not use any static memory.
Example:
          ON_RAND_CONTEXT rand_context;

          ON__UINT seed = 123;
          on_random_number_seed( seed, &rand_context );

/*
Description:
  Get a random number.
Parameters:
  rand_context - [in/out]
    random number context.  The first time rand_context is
    used it must be either initialized by calling on_random_number_seed()
    or rand_context->mti must be set to 0xFFFFFFFF.  Otherwise do not 
    modify randcontext between calls to on_random_number.
Returns:
  A random number.
Remarks:
  on_random_number() does not use any static memory.
Example:
          ON_RAND_CONTEXT rand_context;

          ON__UINT seed = 123;
          on_random_number_seed( seed, &rand_context );
