The best anyone can do with a computer is pseudorandom numbers filtered
recursively with a chosen distribution.
As was written earlier, the uniform distribution is favored by
alot of programmers.   So what I'd like to know is if the
algorithm or actual code for such filtering is on the net such that an ansi
C compiler or a fortran compiler can turn it into a working
program.

While anyone can write anything on the internet; noone has the ability nor the right
to compel anyone else to read their writing.
