NAME

	RangeRand - generate a random number within a specific integer range

SYNOPSIS

	number = RangeRand(maxValue);
	UWORD RangeRand(UWORD);

FUNCTION

	RangeRand() accepts a value from 0 to 65535, and returns a value
	within that range.
	maxValue is passed on stack as a 32-bit integer but used as though
	it is only a 16-bit integer. Variable named RangeSeed is available
	beginning with V33 that contains the global seed value passed from
	call to call and thus can be changed in a program by declaring:
	  extern ULONG RangeSeed;

INPUTS

	maxValue - the returned random number will be in the range
	           [0..maxValue-1]

RESULT

	number - pseudo random number in the range of [0..maxValue-1].
