95 
96    If there are n classes, and the size of each class is Pi, and the
97    number of characters from each class is Ni, the number of possible
98    passwords are (given that the character classes are disjoint):

106     i=1          \  i=1  /
107 
108     Since it uses the RND function above, neither the size of each

110     larger than 127 (without fixing RND).
