# @(#) krand  Produces a random number within integer limits
# "krand" Korn shell script generates a random number in a
# specified range with an optionally specified ``seed'' value.
# Author: Peter Turnbull, May 1993
# Modified by: Becca Thomas, January 1994

# changed the optional third argument to a -s option, converted to
# bash v2 syntax -- chet@po.cwru.edu
