Hi,

if  i remember right the function that does the same as Borland's "random"
is
called "rand". But i'm not sure. In my djgpp-version, there's a
documentation file which shortly(very shortly) describes all standard lib
functions. I think its somewhere in the gnu/inf directory. (libc.inf ?)
You could look for a "rand()" function there under the topic  "random number
functions".
Perhaps someone else can give you more information on this,

Li
