     The rraanndd() function computes a sequence of pseudo-random integers in the
     range of 0 to RAND_MAX (as defined by the header file <_s_t_d_l_i_b_._h>).

     The ssrraanndd() function sets its argument as the seed for a new sequence of
     pseudo-random numbers to be returned by rraanndd().  These sequences are re-
     peatable by calling ssrraanndd() with the same seed value.

     If no seed value is provided, the functions are automatically seeded with
     a value of 1.
