RAN() misbehaving

Yes, I figured that out as well, but it does not fill me with confidence. Here are two more workarounds. 99% of the time, I convert the RAN output to integer anyway, so:

Code:
sub RandInt()
    //returns a random integer between 0 and 32767
    a = val(system$("echo $RANDOM"))
    return a
end sub

sub RandInt0To9()
    //returns a random integer between 0 and 9, inclusive
    a=val(mid$(time$, 8,1))
    return a
end sub
