Hedley answered this - Denise, at a service center

I assume you mean the system time.  AmigaDOS function DateStamp().
Thene use a datestamp to date routine to convert datestamp to date and time.
(I believe one was posted here recently)

It's in amiga.lib and it is called RangeRand() and it is documented in the
amiga.lib.doc in the A-W RKM Exec manual.  Usage is RangeRand(n) where n
is a number from 1 to 65535 and represents the high limit for your random
number.
