Abstract
A QuickBASIC program for generating multivariate random normal scores with given intercorrelations is described. The program uses the Box and Muller and Choleski Factorization algorithms and runs on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers. A diskette containing the compiled run time and source code versions of the program is available at no charge from the author.Keywords
