CryptoGenerateRandom function
Syntax: result-string = CryptoGenerateRandom(Length)
Discussion: The CryptoGenerateRandom function generates a binary (non-printable) string of random characters of <Length> bytes. The resulting string may be used for any purpose and can be especially useful for generating encryption Keys.
History: This function is available in Comet32 only.
Example: LENGTH 16 & LOCAL Random$
Random$ = CryptoGenerateRandom(16)
