Hi all experts:

 I am writing a small program to generate random numbers in C and
an idea came up in my mind: it is a good idea to use the time of the
day as seed to my random generator!

 Unfortunately, I "man -k time" and search through all my 'C' books
and couldn't came up an idea how to get current time in C.

 Can some of you folks help me?

 Thanks in advance!

Alvaro,
