Handy Randy
The Handheld Random Number Generator for PalmOS

There are all sorts of uses for random numbers, ranging from the frivolous (playing games) to the serious (handing out prizes at events such as seminars or races) to the ultra-serious (performing business audits). Handy Randy is the ultimate random number software for the Palm, easy to use but with features galore. Here's what Handy Randy can do:

  • Generate and display random numbers in user-specifiable ranges (e.g., 1-1000).
  • Pull random names from your entire Palm Address Book or from any category in the Address Book
  • Up to six different, non-contiguous ranges can be specified (e.g., 1-200, 350-475) so that you don't waste time generating random numbers which aren't relevant to your problem.
  • Keeps track of all numbers drawn, and, as a user-specifiable option, prevents any number from being drawn more than once.
  • Lets you specify how many numbers are drawn with each tap, from 1 to 999.
  • Lets you cancel a draw in progress if it's taking too long (which can happen if you draw many numbers at once, especially when operating in the "no duplicates" mode).
  • Generates random numbers up to eight digits (that is, up to 99999999).
  • Optionally, sorts the numbers into numerical order, so you can easily see which numbers have been drawn.
  • Displays the entire list of numbers which have been drawn in a scrollable view.
  • And finally, in conjunction with PalmPrint software, lets you print the list of drawn numbers directly to supported printers.

Draw random numbers!

Draw random names too!

We've tried to keep this page simple, but the complete manual for Handy Randy is part of the download when you download the software (see below). Even if you don't have a Palm, there are plenty of screen shots, so you can see everything the software can do, and how easy it is to use.

Want to try Handy Randy yourself?

You can download Handy Randy and put it through its paces without a Serial Number (password).
