Random procedure
DECLARATION: Random(Range : Word);
PURPOSE: Generates a random number within a range
UNIT: System
REMARKS: Generates a random number greater than or equal to zero
and less than Range. If no number is specified then
Range is assumed to be one.
The random number generator should be initialized with a call
to Randomize, or by assigning a value to RandSeed.
NOTE: The random number generator's seed is stored in a
predeclared longint variable called RandSeed.
By assigning a specific value to RandSeed, a specific
sequence of random numbers can be generated over and
over again. This can be used in applications such as
data encryption.
