Introduce Random Delay in Timer

Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie to msp430 world. I am currently working on a simple
ez430-rf2500 project.  This is my current timer code.

void initializeTimer(){
   
    BCSCTL3 |= LFXT1S_2;
    TACCTL0 = CCIE;
    TACCR0= 3933 ;            //goes for 3seconds
    TACTL = MC_1 | TASSEL_1 | ID_3;
    
  }

Everything works fine. The timer interrupt evokes every 3 seconds and a
radio packet is sent. Now I want to introduce a 500-1000 ms second random
delay. I already tried using TI's random generation library. For some
reason, unfortunately I could not make the .s43 library to work on mspgcc. I
searched forum but did not find anything which I could use of. I might have
missed. I would really appreciate if some one could direct me to a good
approach. I need a random delay in sending packets. I am using ez430-RF2500
devices. I would really appreciate guidance on this.

Regards

Ravi
