Is there a way to use the
System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider to create a
number that is between 0 and 86?

-Peter

What is the goal ? My first though would be System.Random not knowing what
you are looking for...

I'm looking to create a truely random number for a password algorythm.

Then you could just use "modulus" so that the value is back in the needed
range (for each byte + perhaps adding a constant). If you do this for each
byte you'll have a random suite of printable chars.
