"random returns a random number between 0 and abs(num-1)"
IIUC, then Random() shoud always return a positive number.

Fun fact: TP's random used an unsigned parameter (word), so no ambiguity there.
Random (function)

Returns a random number.
Declaration:

The question is wether the documentation is wrong, or the

B.t.w. Delphi7 gives me:
Random(-10) = -776108169
Random(-10) = 244426112
Random(-10) = -1774796928
