event message (if any), and add it to the PRNG. The program can then
process the messages as usual.
-The RAND_screen() function is available for the convenience of Windows
-programmers. It adds the current contents of the screen to the PRNG.
-For applications that can catch Windows events, seeding the PRNG by
-calling RAND_event() is a significantly better source of
-randomness. It should be noted that both methods cannot be used on
-servers that run without user interaction.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
RAND_status() and RAND_event() return 1 if the PRNG has been seeded
