BL> #define wrand() (rand() & SHRT_MAX)
 BL> ...     ^^^^^^^  it didn't like wrand(z) and rand(z) and I can
 BL> ... understand that. I don't like it either.

 MS> This was an attempt at a portable rand() that returns a short int
 MS> because my rand() returns a 32 bit int.

 MS> I don't understand why it complained about the z, though, since
 MS> wrand() is not "called" with an argument.

  I'm not game to ignore my compiler. It's polite, but if you ignore
it terrible things happen!

 BL> I must have been mixing up two problems but now it works, it
 BL> makes sense, and I am no longer confused.

 MS> Excellent!

  It's another miracle...
