I resently downloaded DJGPP and was thrilled.
But I have some questions.
*How do I get the random numbers within my own limit?
	I currently use this code:
	
	while(1)
	{
		tt=random();
		tt=tt/10000000;
		if(tt<320)break;
	}
	List[loop]=tt;

	Nice? no I dont think so, there must several other ways to get by 
	this, or some command that I've missed. (random produces a random 
	number between 0....MAXINT, I hope that the answer wont be to go	
 	change in the *.h file.

*Why are my compiled files so large?
	I've compiled a nice "little" starfield I've been working on.
	To my suprise the *.exe file was over 1.8Mb, bad news if you have 
	a small hardrive. Can you decrease that value?

*When I use delay(10); a warning message appears, it says error in 
declaration int delay(...); but it's void delay(); in the help files.


It would be nice if someone could help me.
