The trick is to stay within the realm of standard C. That way it will work
in every platform:

srand(time(NULL));
int r = rand() % 10; // range of 0 to 9

Look up these standard functions in your online help.
Also, see the C faq for information on how to achieve more random results
using these standard functions.

Hope this helps.
