Hello Mike!

Replying to a message of Mike Bilow to Sean Price:

 SP>>         Why a prime modulus?

        I still don't get it.  How would a prime modulus be better than
using INT_MAX as the modulus?  The ELF returns an unsigned long which needs
to be converted to an unsigned int for srand();

        True.  It's something that I really only wrote for my own use
originally.  A friend convinced me to clean it up and release it as
freeware.  So, I had to add a few features/options.  At any rate, it's been
awhile since I've worked in C and I needed the practice.
