News from past days...

I tried with rand () and it seemed to work fine, but now the program 
seems to corrupt files!

Testing on a simple text file worked fine, but as I try it with a 
binary file, my port corrupts it adding spare bytes.

It could be the way I'm using the random generator... I will make some
other try. Will keep you informed!
