I am a real newbie to C/C++ and DJGPP, and i was wondering how to create
random numbers, in the style of

Pseudocode:

randomNum = random(int MaxNum);

where randomNum is the random number returned and MaxNum is the maximum
value for randomNum, and the possible range is 0 to MaxNum.  is there such a
routine, or will i have to build it from existing ones?  I've searched the
RHIDE syntax help file and none of the routines it gave me were really what
i was looking for.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
