BTW: I found a Palm application that simulates 4,6, 8, 10, 12, 20, and
100 sided dice. It is called "Dice Man". It is by Bits 'n Bolts
Software, and can be found at http://www.bitsnbolts.com as freeware.
Have fun! You might contact them about allowing the user to create any
sided die they need. This might be accomplished by adding a division
modifier to the plus and minus. Then you could divide the d10 by two
and get a 5d simulated.
