BldRnd.EXE (3/17/98)
Build random Ascii test files.

-------------------------------------

All of my routines have been compiled with VB5 Service Pack 3.
There are several locations on the web to obtain these 
modules if you have not installed VB5 Service Pack 3.  I did
not use any customized controls other that those that are
distributed with VB5.

[This version was converted in VB4 by Rod Stephens, VB Helper.]

-------------------------------------
BldRnd uses multiple VB code snippet examples.  

The main purpose of the program is to build an ASCII text test
file with 80-byte fixed length records filled with 78 printable
Ascii Text characters (decimal values 33 to 126).  The trailing
two characters for each record is the carriage return (chr(13))
and the the linefeed (chr(10).  Other than these two characters,
there are no blank spaces.

These test files would normally be used to test data transfer rates.

Some of the examples of code snippets are:

1.  Random generating of characters
2.  What I consider the proper way to end a program.
3.  Example of option controls in an array.
4.  Determining if a previous instance of this program is 
    already running.
