<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>One more thing. Random.Next is a good example to play with the overload method selection, but there is no need to do that. IronPython will resolve most cases automatically and the method selection is in place to handle the cases where IronPython doesn't seem to be doing the right thing. And we want to hear about those cases because they may be caused by the defficiency of the method resolution algorithm.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks again and I hope this works for you.</FONT>
