Just small addition to this:
var N:any_integer_type; (may be not extended (very large) integer integer) random(N); would return integer type in the range 0..N-1
random; (without parameters) would return float in the range 0..1.

I'd like to use random numbers generator.
Just do so. :-)
Is someone knows some efficient procedures or functions in pascal?
Yes: `Random'. Use `Randomize' to initialize the random number generator.
program foo; begin Randomize; WriteLn (Random (42)) end.Have fun,
