Re: Anyway to randomize sig files?

I'm still having problems in that the randomizing isn't working for me.
It always seems to choose the first one.. I've tried to run the two
programs that I've found on this group and both of them have not
successfully randomized it at all.. )+:

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?...

I know it really doesn't matter that much, it's just a neat little gadget
anyways...so I just wish to really thank all the people out there trying
to help and all... especially since they are much more talented than
myself...
