According to Thomas Tan:

Are you guys going to implement us_Timer field of TimeStamps soon?

If you tell us how to do that in a portable way - at once! ;-)

I need a seed for a random function and this seems to be the best way to go.

On 21 September, Frank Heckenbach posted a Unit `Rand' to this list which implements a `random' and a `randomize' function just this way. You can extract it from the GPC mailing list archives (see http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/support.html) or download it from ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/contrib/rand.pas.

Hope this helps,

Peter
