dear list,

I am trying to run a simulation using S-PLUS v4.0 on a windows/95 
machine. I am comparing different estimators of a covariance matrix. When 
I use cov.mve within my "for loop" all estimates, p-values,...turn out to 
be the same in all iterations of the "for loop".

Does cov.mve reset the .Random.seed object in some sophisticated way ?

What if I want to run a LOT of loops in the simulation (i.e. set.seed is 
"not enough") ?

Any suggestions ?

Cheers, Patrik
