Util for randomizing order of lines of text.

Handles unlimited amount of lines. Line length is not limited.


On Linux, for example,

  ls *.jpg | random | head -n 3 | awk 'BEGIN {printf "zgv "} {printf $1}' >/tmp/xxx;sh /tmp/xxx

would show 3 random jpegs.


This tiny util should compile on most systems.
On Linux, "gcc -s -O2 -N random.c -o /usr/local/bin/random".
Only source is included (I don't have a C compiler for Amiga).
