     Could someone help me locate Jon Pugh, author of Randomizer?
I would like to get a new version of Randomizer if there is one.
I'm using the one created Oct. 3, 1986 with a size of 11,039.

WHAT RANDOMIZER IS:  Randomizer is an init that changes the StartUpScreen
each time you boot, selecting the next file from a special folder.  It also
changes the StartUpSound ("Gooooood Morning Vietnam!!!!") and Beep ("I'm
sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that").  Parenthesis are some that I like
to use, not limitations of Randomizer.

MY PROBLEM:  After about 5 boots, either StartUpSound or BeepSound gets
corrupted.  Thereafter, the system bombs on each boot as it hits the
sound.  I use Aask Init to deactivate Randomizer temporarily and replace
those two sounds and then Randomizer works for 5 to 6 more boots.

MY SYSTEM: Mac SE, 6.0.2, 1M, ask, heirDA, SFscroll, GateKeeper, SuperSpool
           others I cannot remember.

Thanks to anyone who has information!
