      SUBROUTINE NORRAN(N,ISEED,X)
C
C     PURPOSE--THIS SUBROUTINE GENERATES A RANDOM SAMPLE OF SIZE N
C              FROM THE THE NORMAL (GAUSSIAN)
C              DISTRIBUTION WITH MEAN = 0 AND STANDARD DEVIATION = 1.
C              THIS DISTRIBUTION IS DEFINED FOR ALL X AND HAS
C              THE PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION
C              F(X) = (1/SQRT(2*PI))*EXP(-X*X/2).
C     INPUT  ARGUMENTS--N      = THE DESIRED INTEGER NUMBER
C                                OF RANDOM NUMBERS TO BE
C                                GENERATED.
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 NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
C             WITH MEAN = 0 AND STANDARD DEVIATION = 1.
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     OTHER DATAPAC   SUBROUTINES NEEDED--UNIRAN.
C     FORTRAN LIBRARY SUBROUTINES NEEDED--ALOG, SQRT, SIN, COS.
C     MODE OF INTERNAL OPERATIONS--SINGLE PRECISION.
C     LANGUAGE--ANSI FORTRAN (1977)
C     METHOD--BOX-MULLER ALGORITHM.
