- *
- * $Log: mprand.c,v $
- * Revision 1.4 2001/05/07 17:31:19 mdw
- * Fix off-by one bug in mprand_range. Probably security critical: the old
- * code generated numbers between zero and the highest power of 2 less than
- * the given range.
- *
- * Revision 1.3 2000/06/17 11:45:09 mdw
- * Major memory management overhaul. Added arena support. Use the secure
- * arena for secret integers. Replace and improve the MP management macros
- * (e.g., replace MP_MODIFY by MP_DEST).
- *
- * Revision 1.2 1999/12/22 15:55:33 mdw
- * Modify `mprand' slightly. Add `mprand_range'.
- *
- * Revision 1.1 1999/12/10 23:23:05 mdw
- * Support for generating random large integers.
