I've written a random number generator daemon & gnupg module that uses it
for OS/2. I can send you the source if you like. It uses the truerand
principle but uses the hires timer API instead of chewing lots of CPU time.
It's pretty slow though (around 2k/min), that's why I use a daemon that
builds up a supply of random data ready to hand out when it's needed.
