This program returns a random errorlevel in the range 1 to <n>
where n is a number on the command line from 2 to 255.

If this does not meet you needs, let me know you requirements.
I have a Turbo Pascal program I wrote that is more flexible.

 Save the script between the hash marks to an ASCII file.
 At the DOS prompt enter,  "DEBUG < filename"
 where "filename" is the name of the saved ASCII file.
