Hello !

After I inserted the random-functions, which I got through this list, I wanted to use the Rand-Unit by Frank Heckenbach. But I get some error- messages when compiling this unit :

What exactly does this 'Cardinal'-expression mean ?

Cardinal is an unsigned integer. It was introduced after 2.0, sometime around June, IIRC. With 2.0, you might be able to use "__unsigned__" or such a beast, but OTOH the random unit relies on the exact sizes (16, 32 and 64 bits) of some types, and AFAIR there was no way to specify those in 2.0 (you could use long, short and such, but that woudln't be portable).

Su I suggest you to upgrade to a newer version (maybe wait for the next beta, or even for 2.1 which hopefully won't take too long now to complete). Sorry that you can't use it now, but these are temporary problems...
