<strong>SRAND</strong>
==SYNOPSIS==
#include <stdlib.h>
void srand(int seed)
==DESCRIPTION==
<strong>Srand</strong>() initializes the random number generator
accessed by <strong>rand</strong>() with the given seed. This provides a
mechanism for varying the starting point of the
pseudo-random sequence yielded by <strong>rand</strong>(). On the z80, a
good place to get a truly random seed is from the
refresh register. Otherwise timing a response from the
console will do.
