yet another RNG question:
can anyone comment upon the robustness of the `ranlib' package distributed
via STATLIB?  in particular it generates gaussian deviates according
to:
               Ahrens, J.H. and Dieter, U.                              
               Extensions of Forsythe's Method for Random               
               Sampling from the Normal Distribution.                   
               Math. Comput., 27,124 (Oct. 1973), 927 - 937.            

thanks in advance.
