Well people, thanks for nothing ! All I've had is references like the above
or really useful comments like use the BSD random() function.

Was my posting not clear enough for you ? I said that I am using Meiko C and
fortran and Meiko supply rand()/srand(). Not one person actually answered my
question about how to use *these* functions ! I was just told not to.

I even started toying with bit shifts...

BTW while looking for the source for folded (has anyone got a copy that they's
like to mail me ?) in the comp.source.misc archives (a real laugh from UK
academinc sites) I found, totally by accident, the source for the random()
function and had hacked that so I can use it. All you jocks telling me to
use it and no one bothers to tell me it's PD and I where to pick it up.

Sheesh.
