+The rangen Package
+
+The rangen package is a package that generates random integers,
+rational numbers, and decimal number. Actually, the package uses the
+lcg package (by Erich Janka) to generate random integers, while
+rangen builds rational numbers and decimal numbers from the
+generated integers. My purpose in writing this package was to be
+able to create random questions for the quizzes of exerquiz (part of
+AeB). Indeed, that is what you can do with this package: Write a
+quiz question based on a template (for example, differentiate
+$\a x^{\n}$ , where \a and \n are RVs (random variables) generated with
+rangen); determine if the user input is correct; and display the
+correct answer to the question.
+
+Beta Testers wanted: The package is still in development. I would
+invite anyone interested to test the package, looking for bugs.
+Also, suggested features would be appreciated.
+
+The rangen package requires the insdljs package from AeB. The
+package can be used without exerquiz, perhaps there are some
+applications to the generation of random numbers. As pointed out in
+the documentation, the fp package can be used to manipulate the
+numbers created by rangen.
