James,
There is one thing you might want to specifically take a look at, and that is
the RandNumGen function
that I created, which is used by the random number generator as well as the
combat functions.
I tried to accurately replicate the random number table from the original books.
I realized that they are NOT an even distribution of numbers. Some numbers
appearing quite a bit
more frequently in the charts than others.
The 4 books are all different but the distributions of each number in the
charts are approximately
the same. Not quite but close. I used my own judgment to try and accurately
represent this uneven
distribution in the random number function I created to try to give results
more in line with what the
author originally published in the books, rather than a simple random number.

Hi,
Yes - this is very much of interest.
We would create a staff account to host the file, and you would be able to
upload it yourself.
Please send a copy of it to this group address if it isn't too big (up to about
1Mb should be ok) - or if bigger, please send to me directly and I will pass on
to a few individuals.
Many thanks
James
