    hello, I just want to know how to generate a random number on 4 bytes, I saw that rand returns an int but it's too short for my purposal, any suggestion? In my project I DON'T use MFC, I searched on codeproject but all I found was MFC sample, thanks Paolo

If so, you could just use rand() after seeding it with a random (or as random as you can get) int. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
