.TH RANDOMIZE 1 
.SH NAME
randomize \- do things in a random order
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B randomize [params]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the
.BR randomize
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not
have a manual page.
.PP
.B randomize
is a program that lets you do things in a random order. For example, 
if you want to play some sound files in an order that is different each
time.
.PP
When randomize is run, it simply outputs the parameters you pass it on the
command line, in a new, random order. The output of randomize is typically 
piped into another program which then plays the sound files, or whatever, in
the order randomize arranges them.
.SH EXAMPLE
 # randomize Mary had a little lamb
.PP
This will output something like "a little Mary had lamb".
.PP
 # tracker `randomize *.mod`
.PP
This will play all .mod files in the current directory, in some random
order.
