*
*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SLARNV returns a vector of n random real numbers from a uniform or
*  normal distribution.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  IDIST   (input) INTEGER
*          Specifies the distribution of the random numbers:
*          = 1:  uniform (0,1)
*          = 2:  uniform (-1,1)
*          = 3:  normal (0,1)
*
*  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.
*
*  N       (input) INTEGER
*          The number of random numbers to be generated.
*
*  X       (output) REAL array, dimension (N)
*          The generated random numbers.
*
*  Further Details
*  ===============
*
*  This routine calls the auxiliary routine SLARUV 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.
