hi, Pete:

in terms of random numbers, DGen and blastmc are separate entities. DGen,
being a C++ library, is advanced enough to do its own random seed each
time run. however, blastmc, which is based on the GEANT Fortran library,
requires the user to enter a different initial seed each time it is run.

see the RNDM command in the fort.99 file. basically, for every set of
data that you will eventually want to use, use a different initial seed:

  RNDM 1
  RNDM 2
  RNDM 3
  .
  .
