      SUBROUTINE EV2RAN(N,GAMMA,ISEED,X)
C
C     PURPOSE--THIS SUBROUTINE GENERATES A RANDOM SAMPLE OF SIZE N
C              FROM THE EXTREME VALUE TYPE 2 DISTRIBUTION
C              WITH TAIL LENGTH PARAMETER VALUE = GAMMA.
C              THE PROTOTYPE EXTREME VALUE TYPE 2 DISTRIBUTION USED
C              HEREIN IS DEFINED FOR ALL NON-NEGATIVE X,
C              AND HAS THE PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION
C              F(X) = GAMMA * (X**(-GAMMA-1)) * EXP(-(X**(-GAMMA))).
C     INPUT  ARGUMENTS--N      = THE DESIRED INTEGER NUMBER
C                                OF RANDOM NUMBERS TO BE
C                                GENERATED.
C                     --GAMMA  = THE SINGLE PRECISION VALUE OF THE
C                                TAIL LENGTH PARAMETER.
C                                GAMMA SHOULD BE POSITIVE.
C     OUTPUT ARGUMENTS--X      = A SINGLE PRECISION VECTOR
C                                (OF DIMENSION AT LEAST N)
C                                INTO WHICH THE GENERATED
C                                RANDOM SAMPLE WILL BE PLACED.
C     OUTPUT--A RANDOM SAMPLE OF SIZE N
C             FROM THE EXTREME VALUE TYPE 2 DISTRIBUTION
C             WITH TAIL LENGTH PARAMETER VALUE = GAMMA.
C     PRINTING--NONE UNLESS AN INPUT ARGUMENT ERROR CONDITION EXISTS.
C     RESTRICTIONS--THERE IS NO RESTRICTION ON THE MAXIMUM VALUE
C                   OF N FOR THIS SUBROUTINE.
C                 --GAMMA SHOULD BE POSITIVE.
C     OTHER DATAPAC   SUBROUTINES NEEDED--UNIRAN.
C     FORTRAN LIBRARY SUBROUTINES NEEDED--ALOG.
C     MODE OF INTERNAL OPERATIONS--SINGLE PRECISION.
