Can anyone point me to some code for generating samples with the Cauchy distribution? I've browsed through statlib, but I didn't see anything that had this distribution? More generally, could people recommend (a) public domain packages which have routines for generating various distributions [I've looked at ranlib, but it doesn't have Cauchy deviates] or (b) a text which describes how to do this sort of thing [I've looked in Numerical Recipies, but it has a very limited selection of distributions]. I'll summarize my responses to the net. Thanks in advance! --Bill
