If merely using the timer for randomising isn't enough, you can just add together the addresses of several of your variables and seed the generator with that. Poking around in memory and adding up random memory locations should produce a decent random number generator (although a very hacked up and non-portable one.) --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R
