ran3_normal

        returns one or more normally-distributed random numbers with
        mean of zero an standard deviation of one, using the ran3
        random number generator.

        timing tools adopted from Random number generator and
        simulatiomn by Istvan Deak, Akademiai Kiado, Budapest 1990

        ran3_normal(seed)
 INPUTS: seed : a long integer used to initialize the random number
        generator (ran3). Set seed to
        any negative value to start the sequence.

        dim  : the dimension of the result. (default = 1)

        none

        ran3_normal : one or more random deviates from a normal
        distribution  (dimension of the output = dim)

        none

        ran3_normalcom,ind,y

        none

        set IDUM to any negative value to initialize or
        reinitialize the sequence

        ran3_normal(-23887878,dim=1000)
