There is none. You need to add to your code a: extern ULONG RangeSeed; /* For C */ XREF _RangeSeed ;For assembly And set it to your start seed. Usually the number of clock ticks since the machine was powered on is a good place to start the seed. Note that a previous document for this function listed the above as a UWORD. That was wrong! -Bryce
