- I have a couple questions regarding the C programming language. I'm a
- totally blind user, and am teaching myself C from a great book called
- "The Joy of C." There are a couple topics that I'd like to know about
- that don't seem to appear in the book. The first is, how do you
- incorporate DOS commands such as cd\, dir, or format into a C program or
- is there a more portable way to do these types of tasks? The second is,
- how do you generate random numbers in C? If someone could provide some
- info on this, or some resources where I can obtain the info, I'd greatly
- appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
