I ran a test where I did 10,000,000 RANDs. The min. and max. I got were 0.00000001513399 and 0.99999959790148. Of course, I can't prove that it will never return 0 or 1, but I suspect that it won't. Of course, if you're generating an integer you'll probably end up rounding to the equivalent of 0 or 1 anyway.
