### About

This package provides an interface to the true random number service provided

by the [random.org](https://random.org) website created by Mads Haahr.

The random.org web service samples atmospheric noise via radio 

tuned to an unused broadcasting frequency together with a skew

correction algorithm due to John von Neumann.  More background is

available in the included vignette based on an essay by Mads Haahr. 

In its current form, the package offers functions to retrieve 

random integers, randomized sequences and random strings.
