random numbers in awk?

[Jonathan I. Kamens]

In article <1991Apr24.041134.14519 at athena.mit.edu>, I write:

I should have said "jot -r 1 1 max", rather than "jot -r 1 max".  The former
tells jot to produce 1 number between 1 and max; the latter tells jot to
produce 1 number between max and 100, which is the default maximum value.
