Dear Don Cragun,

Smilie I feel like a fool. Smilie

I did not know about the % operator. I have various scripts generating low random numbers (password generators mainly) that have a variation of my poor attempt above that would be so much neater with your suggestion, and easier to document too.


Thanks for this nugget, I will store it away for future use. Smilie

Zero is returned if the refresh rate is unknown or cannot be queried. GLUT_GAME_MODE_DISPLAY_CHANGED Non-zero if entering game mode actually changed the display settings. If the game mode string is not possible or the display mode could not be changed for any other reason, zero is returned. DESCRIPTION
