interesting attitude you have. as i mentioned before, basic c questions 
belong in comp.lang.c or comp.lang.c.moderated.

here is a list of mistakes (not necessarily exhaustive) in your original 
code:

* declaration of trnd is not legal in C
* undeclared variable: Rseed
* you don't return a value from main.

you can try:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    time_t trnd;
    int retv = 0; /* return value from functions */
    
    time(&trnd);
    srand((unsigned) trnd);

    
/*[snip]*/
    
    return retv;
}


incidentally, you should at least type 

info libc alpha time at the command line, and read what it does.

There are four sorts of men:
He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him.
He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him.
He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him.
He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him.

you can also go to yahoo and search for online IQ tests if you really feel 
so superior.
