Random Number Generator


Hi!, I'm writing a program using the random number genrator rand() defined in <stdlib.h>.  I've written the following program to test it: 



void main()
{
  int input1, i;

  srand(time(NULL));
  
  for (i=0; i<20 ; i++)
    {
      input1 = rand() * 10 / (RAND_MAX + 1);
      printf("random numbers %i\n",input1);

    }
} 


BUT, the results I get are all zeros.  Is there something wrong with the gcc compiler provided by cygwin, because I've tested this program at university, and it outputs random numbers correctly.

Please Help!

Thank You!
