RE: Random number ?

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It gives you a double between 0 and 1.  You can multiply it by whatever
factor you choose to get a number of the order of magnitude you need.
Modular division will restrict the range.  In most of the languages I've
seen that have out of the box random number generators you have to do the
same thing.
