Bob,

Huh, rand() is right.  I talked to Carl when there was a hubbub here about how
to use it and he gave me the scope.  Rand() has no scale and srand() is used to
seed it.  The example I gave in the docs works.  Here is another:

    #include 

    main()
    {
        long time();
        srand((unsigned) time(0));      /* seed the generator */

        printf("%d\n", rand());
        printf("%d\n", rand());
        printf("%d\n", rand());
        printf("%d\n", rand());

        srand((unsigned) time(0));      /* reseed the generator */

        printf("%d\n", rand());
        printf("%d\n", rand());
        printf("%d\n", rand());
        printf("%d\n", rand());
    }

Mark
