title: Saving the current seed in a Fortran random number sequence
body: <p>I am currently using the intrinsic function <code>rand()</code> to generate random numbers.  I initialized my sequence with some defined seed, but I want to be able to output the current seed that <code>rand()</code> is using at some point in my loop.</p>
  
  <p>By doing this, I should be able to "continue" the sequence of random numbers in a new program.</p>
  
  <p>From what I have seen online, there is no way to do this with the random number generator associated with <code>rand()</code> and <code>srand()</code> functions.  Is this true?  Can anyone suggest a different method (perhaps, <code>RANDOM_NUMBER()</code>?).</p>
