Hi everybody,
I got a problem with the Random Number Generator: I use it this way 

int i;

srandom(int seed)  /* what is the meaning of this 'seed' ?*/
for( ... )
{
 i=random();
 printf("%u \n",i);
 ...

};

Then  things:
- Every time I launch the executable, the sequence of so called random
  numbers printed on screen is always the same ( so where is the randomized
  stuff ?)
- How can I manage to have 'i' between 0 and MaxRandomNumber ?

Thanx for answering
