random number in range

I need to generate a random number between a range, say 1 - 6. I have looked at rand() and it returns random numbers in the integer range. Can anyone tell me how to generate a random number within a certain range.

Thanks lg

If all else fails, have a look at this. Actually, even if all else doesn't fail, have a look at it. ;)
