产生一个更大的随机数的方法

//
// Function: f_BigRand
//
// Description:
// This function uses 2 calls to Rand to generate Random numbers for large
// ranges. It breaks the range into blocks of 32767 (max range for
// RAND function)
// The limit of the function is 32767 blocks of 32767. 
// It calls RAND to first determine which block, then calls RAND again to 
// determine the number in the
// selected block. To ensure even probability over the range where
// there are multiple blocks,
// the same sub range is used for each block.
// 
// Argument al_range 
// The upper limit of the range of random numbers you want returned.
// The lower limit is always 1. The maximum value for the argument is 
// 1,073,676,289 or 32767*32767.
// 
// Returns
// A random number in the range 1 to al_range inclusive.
// Or 0 if max range exceeded.
