% \paragraph*{Description.}
% This short package randomizes a list of tokens. The command, \cs{ranToks},
% takes one argument, which is a list of tokens:
%\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,fontsize=\small,
%commandchars={!()},codes={\catcode`\%=9}]
%\ranToks{!ameta(name)}{!%
%!quad{!ameta(tok!SUB1)}{!ameta(tok!SUB2)}...{!ameta(tok!SUB(n))}
%}
%\end{Verbatim}
% The command defines a series of $n$ internal commands, one for each of the tokens.
% The definitions are essentially randomized. The randomized tokens are accessed through
% the command \cs{useRanTok}. For example,
%\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,fontsize=\small,
%commandchars={!()},codes={\catcode`\%=9}]
%\useRanTok{1}, \useRanTok{2},..., \useRanTok{n}
%\end{Verbatim}
% gives a random listing of the $n$ tokens. These can be arranged on the page
% as desired.
%
% There is a second construct, designed for more elaborate randomization.
%\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,fontsize=\small,
%commandchars={!()},codes={\catcode`\%=9}]
%\bRTVToks{!ameta(name)}
%\begin{rtVW}
%!quad!ameta(some content)
%\end{rtVW}
%...
%...
%\begin{rtVW}
%!quad!ameta(some content)
%\end{rtVW}
%\eRTVToks
%\end{Verbatim}
% The contents of each of the \texttt{rtVW} environments are written to the computers hard drive, then input
% back in random order, using \cs{useRanTok}, eg,
%\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,fontsize=\small,
%commandchars={!()},codes={\catcode`\%=9}]
%\useRanTok{1}, \useRanTok{2},..., \useRanTok{n}
%\end{Verbatim}
% Other details are left to the readers' imagination.

%    the verbatim content are \env{problem}/\env{problem*} environments of \pkg{eqexam}.
