This class provides a way to write a randomly chosen value into a \s-1HTML\s0 field.
.ie n .IP "new \s-1NAME,\s0 %ARGS" 4
.el .IP "new \s-1NAME,\s0 \f(CW%ARGS\fR" 4
.IX Item "new NAME, %ARGS"
Creates a new value which will correspond to the \s-1HTML\s0 field \f(CW\*(C`NAME\*(C'\fR. The allowed
\&\f(CW%ARGS\fR are
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&  string => POSIX strftime string
\&  min    => minimum time stamp (inclusive)
\&  max    => maximum time stamp (exclusive)
.Ve
.Sp
The \f(CW\*(C`min\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`max\*(C'\fR time stamps must be in the same format as the \f(CW\*(C`string\*(C'\fR supplies.
.Sp
\&\fB\s-1WARNING\s0\fR
.Sp
The algorithm to implement \f(CW\*(C`min\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`max\*(C'\fR barriers is very simplicistic \- it
tries as many random values as necessary to meet the two criteria. This means that
your script may enter an infinite loop if the criteria can never be attained or
are too little apart.
.IP "name [\s-1NEWNAME\s0]" 4
.IX Item "name [NEWNAME]"
Gets and sets the name of the \s-1HTML\s0 field this value corresponds to.
.IP "value \s-1FIELD\s0" 4
.IX Item "value FIELD"
Returns the value to put into the \s-1HTML\s0 field.
