OK, in zsh, something like:

    printf %d $((RANDOM/327.67))

Of course, none of these are likely to be as good as just using python
(or some other suitable language).  For example the zsh example's not
likely enough to produce 100.  (Hmm, actually wouldn't hex be just as
good?  In which case a shell-based answer might be adequate (use
printf %02x)?)
