:: this program generates a random 5 digit number with 774 Bytes of normal Batch
:: but it can without problem be expanded to generate more digits
:: with a little code-change, it can also generate random letters or other signs
:: thanks a lot to breathe for helping me get the idea, how this could work
:: ...
:: nearly one year after I made v1.0 of this I'm finally confident with my program
:: if someone is able to do the same thing with less than 774 Bytes, please mail me
:: (774 Bytes if you cut out these comments, of course)
