Hi,

In unit math.pp you can find this comment:

510
<https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rtl/objpas/math.pp?view=markup#l510>
{
returns random values with gaussian distribution }
511
<https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rtl/objpas/math.pp?view=markup#l511>
function
RandG(mean,stddev : float) : float;
512
<https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rtl/objpas/math.pp?view=markup#l512>
function
RandomRange(const aFrom, aTo: Integer): Integer;
513
<https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rtl/objpas/math.pp?view=markup#l513>
function
RandomRange(const aFrom, aTo: Int64): Int64;

The grouping of these functions together with the comment suggests (at
least it did to me) that the comment above it applies to all 3 functions.
This is obviously not the case for the RandomRange functions.

I would propose to insert a single empty line between RandG and the
RandomRange function, so it is more clear that the comment is only about
the RandG function.
