 >> Some random number generators return a number from 0 to .999999.  The
formula then is:

 >> x = random_number * range + 1 which would return a number from 1 to 10.

The API CEERAN0 does this.  This is (I hope) the right proto but I cna't
check right now:

  * Seed range is 0 to 2,147,483,646. Set from GMT if zero
  *   if returned number is -1 then seed was invalid
 D CEERan0         Pr                  ExtProc('CEERAN0')
 D  Seed                         10I 0
 D  RandomNumber                  8F
 D  Feedback                     12A   Options(*NoPass)
