This is what I am using:
unsigned long RandomNum(unsigned long n)
{
static Boolean initialized = false;
unsigned long x;
if (initialized == false) {
initialized = true;
SysRandom(TimGetTicks());
}
if (n == 0)
n = 1;
x = SysRandom(0) ;
x = (double) x / ( (double) (1 + sysRandomMax / n )) ;
return x;
}

Hello,
I like to get a random number in the range from 1 to 6.
The function sysRandom() don�t allow to specify a range or an upper limit
(the highest possible number is defined in sysRandomMax, but I don�t think I
should change there anything).
Is there a way to get the desired result directly from sysRandom()?
Or, do I have to trim the value that I get from sysRandom() to my needs (if
so, in what header file I have to look to get the functions to get just the
first unit (numbers 0-9) of a number)?
Thanks in advance,
Nils
