Other places in the code are using qrand or something else.Why don't we just 
change normrnd.c to use that instead?
Or one of the other generators in the src code that all seem work just fine on 
XP.

Hi Terry,

please do not start a new thread on the mailing list by replying to an 
existing unrelated thread, this makes it likely that messages will be 
missed.

The error you are seeing is due to a recent change in WSJT-X that 
references the C library function rand_s. This function is documented as 
being available from Windows XP onwards but clearly it is not. Other 
users have tried installing the latest C/C++ runtime re-distributable 
packages without success. Do not install arbitrary msvcrt.dll files from 
any source other than the Microsoft supplied re-distributable packages. 
This library is so fundamental to Windows operation that system damage 
is likely.

Windows XP is out of support with Microsoft and it is no longer possible 
to install that version of Windows since the patch and service pack 
update servers are no longer available. Have you considered a Windows 
upgrade? If your hardware is not capable to running later versions of 
Windows then maybe a system upgrade is worth considering?
