Which of your many errors did you have in mind:

#include <time.h>               /* mha - to fix illegal use of time_t,
                                   time() */
#include <stdlib.h>             /* mha - to fix incorrect use srand() */
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int retv;
    time_t trnd;                /* mha - to fix illegal placement of
                                   declaration */
    time_t Rseed;               /* mha - to fix illegal use of
                                   undeclared variable */
    retv = 0;                   /* return value from functions */
 /*** Random Number Initialization **********/
    Rseed = time(&trnd);
    srand((unsigned)Rseed);
    return 0;                   /* mha - to fix (C89 illegal, C99 bad
                                   idea) failure to return a value from 
                                   main. */
}

I agree.  Your code really is bad, isn't it?
