Thank you to Stan Horwitz and <sysadmin_at_astro.su.se>.

I have been a little bit a newbie with this question, since the
answer is in the man page for rand.

       static unsigned int next = 1;
       int myrand(void)
       {
               next = next * 1103515245 + 12345;
               return ( (next >>16) & RAND_MAX);
       }
       void mysrand (unsigned int seed)
       {
       next = seed
       }

Regards,
