real function slarnd (idist, iseed)
SLARND

SLARND

Purpose:

 SLARND returns a random real number from a uniform or normal
 distribution.

Parameters

IDIST
          IDIST is INTEGER
          Specifies the distribution of the random numbers:
          = 1:  uniform (0,1)
          = 2:  uniform (-1,1)
          = 3:  normal (0,1)

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
