You can use the following external function declaration:

FUNCTION Rand : Integer; C;

and do the following example:

FOR i := 1 TO 10 DO WriteLn(Rand);

Alternatively, there is a random number generator unit called "Rand" written by 
Frank Heckenbach (heckenb@mi.uni-erlangen.de). 

To Frank: Would you post your unit again, please? Im interested, too.
