One way might be to generate a high precision number from the uniform distribution, then use an appropriate inverse distribution to get what you want. Below are some URLs to archived mathgroup posts that give some detail on how this might be done. http://library.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archives/1993/Jan/msg00008.html http://library.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archives/1993/Jan/msg00009.html http://library.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archives/1998/Mar/msg00047.html Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research
