'time' function has gone bad on me

[RandallW]

I've been using this piece of code that caused no compiler
trouble:

 srand ( ( unsigned ) time ( NULL ) );

Now it doesn't compile...it gives me "error C2064: term does
not evaluate to a function".....I checked error from the CD
and it shows examples such as integer being used like a function; nothing like my problem.

I'm pretty sure my problem is with 'time'...i've tried using it different ways, such as

 time ( &generated_time )

...same error

Also, i've goofed the way my windows show up now ( i'm working with Microsoft C++ ver 4.0 ), so the ability to have two windows showing with a vertical line ( that splits
them ) that can be moved horizontally has been lost, and I don't know where the setting is to get it back.

On top of that, I can't get the Contents listing of my Help files on the CD to show. I'm in a sucky mood right now.

Dear RandallW,

Are you including the header file that declares the time() function?

I don't know about the rest of the VC++ 4 questions, it's been a long time since I worked with that version.

Yes, the time.h file has been included.

RandallW,

I have no problem compiling that line of code. The error may be occuring the line prior to that one.

Good luck
