If I will be using random.c in projects in other compilers (I have to make the same pseudorandom numbers appear on all platforms), do I have to advertise UC Berkeley and its contributors? -- Damian Yerrick http://yerricde.tripod.com/ Comment on story ideas: http://home1.gte.net/frodo/quickjot.html AOL is sucks!
