randomize()

I am trying to run a code which gives the following
compilation error

error C2065: 'randomize' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'random' : undeclared identifier
Error executing cl.exe.

i am using Visual studio 6.0, Is there something that i am
supposed to include for this. i have already inculded the
following for diff reasons.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

Can anyone help me in identifying the problem
Regards

here's a basic MSDN sample code
(wich you can find with Visual Studio 6 easily )

/* RAND.C: This program seeds the random-number generator
* with the time, then displays 10 random integers.
*/

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

void main( void )
{
int i;

/* Seed the random-number generator with current time so that
* the numbers will be different every time we run.
*/
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );

/* Display 10 numbers. */
for( i = 0; i < 10;i++ )
printf( " %6d\n", rand() );
}

The fact that neither random nor randomize are defined in any standard
header might have something to do with it.

For "defined", read "declared".

randomize() and random() are not standard C functions. What platform was your
code sample originally for?
