hey everyone,

    i'm wondering if anyone has written {or come across} C functions
that produce
random numbers under a Gaussian {normal} distribution?  In other
languages they
are usually called randn or randg.  

    it is quite a common thing..has anyone thought about possibly
including functions
like this in libm?  

I'm really looking fr something like this in ANSI C, and not in
a library..I need source code fr portability.

thanks fr any help,
daniel.
