[fpc-pascal] quality of FPC random

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hi All,

I need to generate random numbers to be used as IV of block ciphers.  My
question is: is FPC built-in PRNG good enough as comparing to /dev/urandom?

On the other hand, /dev/urandom in my impression is fairly slow, how is the
speed of Random() comparing to that?

Thanks!
Xiangrong
