Thanks Philipp,
I've just notice that the statisticians were not initialysing the Rand(-1) function before using it, Thats why they were getting odd result.
>>I'm not sure, I'm working with statisticians in a genetic company and they say that Fox's random function is giving more result in the lower boundry and they don't like it. I'm not a statistician myself so I cannot argue with them so I'm trying to find an external product.
