   He said once per file. Once per run is what I'm
suggesting. In other words, if you randomize the
same string 3 times without calling Randomize then
the result will be 3 matching shuffles. So the best
approach is to call it with every Shuffle call, which
is hardly a waste of CPU cycles. It just retrieves
the system time. .... But maybe we're saying the same
thing. I'm not sure.
