NAME
  frnd - a fast and dirty random generator.

SYNOPSIS
  int *frnd([int MAX [, int MIN [, int NR [, int SEED]]]])

DESCRIPTION
  This is a fast (well, it's LPC) and dirty random number generator that will
  produce an array of random numbers. The periodicity is only about 2**30,
  which is considered quite bad.

  The routine returns a sequence of NR consecutive random integers in an array.
  The numbers are all in the range [MIN, MAX] (i.e. including both MIN and MAX
  in the range). The SEED is used to set the starting point of the sequence. It
  is a good idea to keep SEED in the interval [MIN, MAX].

EXAMPLES
  frnd(100, 0, 5, 0)	gives	({ 21, 20, 0, 66, 70 })
  frnd(1, 0, 5, 0)	gives	({ 0, 0, 0, 1, 1 })
  frnd(1, -1, 5, 1)	gives	({ -1, 1, 1, 0, 1 })

NOTA BENE
  There are no sanity checks on things here, as that would slow it down and
  LPC is slow enough as it is, even on a good day. Thus, it is YOUR 
  responsibility to give valid values.

BUGS
  If you demand a very big array, strange buffers might overflow or you can get
  the dreaded 'Too long evaluation' error message.
