      SUBROUTINE GEORAN(N,P,ISEED,X)
C
C     PURPOSE--THIS SUBROUTINE GENERATES A RANDOM SAMPLE OF SIZE N
C              FROM THE GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION
C              WITH SINGLE PRECISION 'BERNOULLI PROBABILITY'
C              PARAMETER = P.
C              THE GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION USED
C              HEREIN HAS MEAN = (1-P)/P
C              AND STANDARD DEVIATION = SQRT((1-P)/(P*P))).
C              THIS DISTRIBUTION IS DEFINED FOR
C              ALL NON-NEGATIVE INTEGER X--X = 0, 1, 2, ... .
C              THIS DISTRIBUTION HAS THE PROBABILITY FUNCTION
C              F(X) = P * (1-P)**X.
C              THE GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION IS THE
C              DISTRIBUTION OF THE NUMBER OF FAILURES
C              BEFORE OBTAINING 1 SUCCESS IN AN
C              INDEFINITE SEQUENCE OF BERNOULLI (0,1)
C              TRIALS WHERE THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS
C              IN A SINGLE TRIAL = P.
C     INPUT  ARGUMENTS--N      = THE DESIRED INTEGER NUMBER
C                                OF RANDOM NUMBERS TO BE
C                                GENERATED.
C                     --P      = THE SINGLE PRECISION VALUE
C                                OF THE 'BERNOULLI PROBABILITY'
C                                PARAMETER FOR THE GEOMETRIC
C                                DISTRIBUTION.
C                                P SHOULD BE BETWEEN
C                                0.0 (EXCLUSIVELY) AND
C                                1.0 (EXCLUSIVELY).
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 GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION
C             WITH 'BERNOULLI PROBABILITY' PARAMETER = P.
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                 --P SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0.0 (EXCLUSIVELY)
C                   AND 1.0 (EXCLUSIVELY).
C     OTHER DATAPAC   SUBROUTINES NEEDED--UNIRAN.
C     FORTRAN LIBRARY SUBROUTINES NEEDED--ALOG.
C     MODE OF INTERNAL OPERATIONS--SINGLE PRECISION.
C     LANGUAGE--ANSI FORTRAN (1977)
C     COMMENT--NOTE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE OUTPUT
C              FROM THIS DISCRETE RANDOM NUMBER
C              GENERATOR MUST NECESSARILY BE A
C              SEQUENCE OF ***INTEGER*** VALUES,
C              THE OUTPUT VECTOR X IS SINGLE
C              PRECISION IN MODE.
C              X HAS BEEN SPECIFIED AS SINGLE
C              PRECISION SO AS TO CONFORM WITH THE DATAPAC
C              CONVENTION THAT ALL OUTPUT VECTORS FROM ALL
C              DATAPAC SUBROUTINES ARE SINGLE PRECISION.
C              THIS CONVENTION IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT
C              1) A MIXTURE OF MODES (FLOATING POINT
C              VERSUS INTEGER) IS INCONSISTENT AND
C              AN UNNECESSARY COMPLICATION
C              IN A DATA ANALYSIS; AND
C              2) FLOATING POINT MACHINE ARITHMETIC
C              (AS OPPOSED TO INTEGER ARITHMETIC)
C              IS THE MORE NATURAL MODE FOR DOING
C              DATA ANALYSIS.
