I have recently found a problem in stata v7 . I have been using the rndbin
program extensively in some simulations I am running.
I would like to be able to replicate my results and find that the seed
command does not seem to work; I keep getting different results.

Can someone show me how to run the rndin command more than once and get the
same result each time.

-rndbin- is a command in the -rnd- suite originally written by Joseph Hilbe.
He wrote the -rnd- suite when the release of Stata used the old random
number generator. Since then, Stata has implemented a new random number
generator. When the new random number generator was implemented, it took
over the -set seed . . .- command, and the old random number generator that
is still used by the -rnd- suite (under version control) now uses
-set seed0 . . .- (note the zero) to set its seed.
