According to Thomas Tan:

If you tell us how to do that in a portable way - at once!  ;-)

On 21 September, Frank Heckenbach posted a Unit `Rand' to this list
which implements a `random' and a `randomize' function just this
way.  You can extract it from the GPC mailing list archives (see
http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/support.html) or download it from
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/contrib/rand.pas.

Hope this helps,
