                 'Rnd' may be used to generate one or more pseudo-random num-
                 bers,  uniformly distributed over a given range of integers.
                 The arguments specify the range and number of  pseudo-random
                 integers to be generated.

                 The  "-l"  and  "-u" options set the lower and upper bounds,
                 respectively, of the range.  The default values  are  1  for
                 the  lower  bound  and  100  for  the upper bound.  The "-n"
                 option  controls  the  number  of  integers  generated;  the
                 default is 1.

            _B_u_g_s

                 Round-off  error  may make this program not quite uniform in
                 the long run.
