If you are wanting to learn how to do it, that link is a really good resource. If you just want to be able to generate a set of data that is normally distributed look at the link: http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=4911 The command you'll want to use is NORMSIM which stands for normal simulation. It should work unless I am remembering incorrectly, but I haven't touched that code since I wrote it when I was 17 or so. TW
