\name{spawn.sprng}
\alias{spawn.sprng}
\title{Spawn new random number streams based on the current one.}
\description{
Some times when a process spawns children processes, it is desirable
to spawn new streams from an old one and pass them on to children.
\code{spawn.sprng} creates new random number streams based on the
current one, and returns them as columns of an integer matrix.
These new streams can be then transfered to children processes.
}
\usage{
spawn.sprng (nspawn)
}
\arguments{
\item{nspawn}{number of new streams to spawn}
}
\value{
Return an integer matrix with \code{nstream} columns, each column
corresponds to one stream. The number of rows will depend on the type
of the PRNG.
