)

SLARND

Purpose:
 SLARND returns a random real number from a uniform or normal
 distribution.
Parameters
[in]IDIST
          IDIST is INTEGER
          Specifies the distribution of the random numbers:
          = 1:  uniform (0,1)
          = 2:  uniform (-1,1)
          = 3:  normal (0,1)
[in,out]ISEED
          ISEED is INTEGER array, dimension (4)
          On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array
          elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be
          odd.
          On exit, the seed is updated.

Further Details:
  This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARAN to generate a random
  real number from a uniform (0,1) distribution. The Box-Muller method
  is used to transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution.
