rand() and RAND_MAX don't seem to be available, or are they? What is the
equivalent of cstdlib.h?

You include either <stdlib.h>  or  <cstdlib>, but not <cstdlib.h> (hope this is true for DM).

Prepended header files with 'c' indicate the standardized ruling for using the C runtime library (standard portions) with C++. Thus time becomes <ctime> instead of <time.h>, <stdio.h> becomes <cstdio>, <stdlib.h> becomes <cstdlib>, etc. Are you writing in C or C++? If it's C++, there should be no .h (though you may sometimes, non-standard-ruled for some). Now if you are, take into account which Standard Library you are using. I've had some problems with namespaces with the SGI (which is why STLPort is available).

The difference between <cname> and <name.h> in C++ is that all
identifiers (except macros) are in namespace std when <cname> is
included and in global namespace if <name.h> is included.
For now I still use the 'original' c-headers (old men move slowly <g>).
