          Hi,

            The best reference I've seen on generation of random
          numbers is L. Devroye (1986). Non-uniform Random Variate
          Generation.  Springer-Verlag.  Most algorithms are in pseudo
          code that can pretty easily be adapted to the target
          environment of your choice.

          Stephen
