No, it's 'seed'. (A (psuedo-)random number generator also uses a seed,
usually provided by the clock)

A height field is an object of varying heights defined by a image. For
example, Jacob's landscape generator creates an LDraw height field from a
PGM file. A POV height_field works similarly, although it is only 1x1x1
units, no matter how large the image. To get it the size you want it,
you have to scale it in all directions.

I'll put up a zip file on the Viper page when I have a chance.

I was thinking the same, especially when it turned out to look so much
like a sandy desert.
