Well, assuming you are already writing an amiga specific application and this
won't hurt portability, you could use the amiga.lib function rangerand().
You pass it a longword (with a value from 1 to 65535) and it returns a
random number between 0 and that number.

If you are being portable, use a macro.

Hope that helps...
