/* NAME
/*	myrand 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	rand wrapper
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <myrand.h>
/*
/*	void	mysrand(seed)
/*	int	seed;
/*
/*	int	myrand()
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module implements a wrapper for the portable, pseudo-random
/*	number generator. The wrapper adds automatic initialization.
/*
/*	mysrand() performs initialization. This call may be skipped.
/*
/*	myrand() returns a pseudo-random number in the range [0, RAND_MAX].
/*	If mysrand() was not called, it is invoked with the process ID
/*	ex-or-ed with the time of day in seconds.
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
/* WARNING
/*	Do not use this code for generating unpredictable numbers.
