The Handheld Random Number Generator for PalmOS
There are all sorts of uses for random numbers, ranging from the frivolous (playing games) to the serious (handing out prizes at events such as seminars or races) to the ultra-serious (performing business audits).
Handy Randy is the ultimate random number software for the Palm, easy to use but with features galore. Heres what Handy Randy can do:
Generate and display random numbers in user-specifiable ranges (e.g., 1-1000).
Pull random names from your entire Palm Address Book or from any category in the Address Book (new in version 2.0!)
Up to seven different, non-contiguous ranges can be specified (e.g., 1-200, 350-475) so that you dont waste time generating random numbers which arent relevant to your problem.
Keeps track of all numbers drawn, and, as a user-specifiable option, prevents any number from being drawn more than once.
Lets you specify how many numbers are drawn with each tap, from 1 to 999.
Lets you cancel a draw in progress if its taking too long (which can happen if you draw many numbers at once, especially when operating in the no duplicates mode).
Generates random numbers up to eight digits (that is, up to 99999999).
Optionally, sorts the numbers into numerical order, so you can easily see which numbers have been drawn.
Displays the entire list of numbers which have been drawn in a scrollable view.
And finally, in conjunction with PalmPrint software, lets you print the list of drawn numbers directly to supported printers. |
