+.SH NAME
+gsl-randist - generate random samples from various distributions
+.SH SYNOPSYS
+.B gsl-randist seed n DIST param1 param2 [..]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B gsl-randist 
+is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library.
+It generates n random samples from the distribution DIST using the distribution
+parameters param1, param2, ...
+.SH EXAMPLE
+Here is an example.  We generate 10000 random samples from a Cauchy
+distribution with a width of 30 and histogram them over the range -100 to
+100, using 200 bins.
+ 
+     gsl-randist 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -100 100 200 > histogram.dat
+ 
+A plot of the resulting histogram will show the familiar shape of the
+Cauchy distribution with fluctuations caused by the finite sample
+size.
+
+     awk '{print $1, $3 ; print $2, $3}' histogram.dat | graph -T X
