Is there a way to generate random numbers within a certain range in 
Lattice C??. Ive done it with the following code but it's not very
elegant (or fast!),

Random(range,seed)
int range,seed;
{
	srand(seed);
	if range = 0
		return(0);
	else{
		do
			seed = rand() / 10000000;
		while (seed >= range);
		return(seed);
	}
}

urrgghh! help 

Dave
