I would have two questions about random() and srandom() :

1 - Are those routines portables ? I found them both in DJGPP 
and on Solaris systems, but can they be considered to be available in
any C 
standard library ?

2 - Which file should be included to know their prototypes ? On Solaris,
it seems that neither <stdio.h> nor <stdlib.h> contain any prototype
of random() and srandom().  Actually none of the ".h" files in
/usr/include
contains their declaration.

Thank you for your help,

Mo Van DANG
