        Calling Sequence

        char *setstate(), *state, *ptr;
        ...
        ptr = setstate(state);


        Description

        Use the setstate function to change random number generation.
        This function returns a pointer to the previous state information
        array, which contains information about random number generation.
        That array is then used for further random number generation
        until the next call to initstate or setstate.


        Returns

        The function setstate returns a pointer to the previous state
        information array.
