.SH PURPOSE
DLARNV returns a vector of n random real numbers from a uniform or normal distribution. 
.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP 8
IDIST   (input) INTEGER
Specifies the distribution of the random numbers:
.br
= 1:  uniform (0,1)
.br
= 2:  uniform (-1,1)
.br
= 3:  normal (0,1)
.TP 8
ISEED   (input/output) INTEGER array, dimension (4)
On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array
elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be
odd.
On exit, the seed is updated.
.TP 8
N       (input) INTEGER
The number of random numbers to be generated.
.TP 8
X       (output) DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
The generated random numbers.
.SH FURTHER DETAILS
This routine calls the auxiliary routine DLARUV to generate random
real numbers from a uniform (0,1) distribution, in batches of up to
128 using vectorisable code. The Box-Muller method is used to
transform numbers from a uniform to a normal distribution.
