name
gauss: generate a bunch of gaussianly distributed numbers
synopsis
gauss(gaussp:in, data: out, output: out)
files
gaussp: parameter file controlling the program.
Two numbers, one per line:
seed: random seed to start the process
total: the number of numbers to generate
data: the input file for genhis. this is a set of numbers which
should have gaussian distribution if the random number generator
is a reasonable one. It will be N(0,1), a normal distribution
with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
genhisp: control file for genhis
output: messages to the user
description
Test of a random number generator by creating a Gaussian distribution of
numbers for plotting by genhis. Further details of the method are in email
communications appended to the end of this program in a comment.
example
seed := 0.5;
total := 10000;

technical notes
%
the constant n in procedure randomtest determines how many times
the random number generator will be in a series of tests. if n
is small, the the test will be poor, if it is large then the test may
take a long time.
