sci.crypt archiveRe: Finally a safe and math accurate random64bit function ! ;)

I give up...
This whole idea of combining 4x 16 calls to random is bullshit.
Suppose we had used 8x8bits.
This would happen with input range 256 (9 bits with only 9th bit set) or
Channel two would be 1
So than it's all or nothing.
Not much of random generator !
This whole idea is bogus.
The only correct way to make a 64 bit random function is with int64 etc.
Bye,
