    I second the motion. I recently wrote a similar little fortran program
    to calculate erf and think a set of functions for distribution manipulation
    would be great (the equivalent of norminv, normdist, and normsdist
    and thier gamma equivalents in excel, for example).

    Since we mention free code, I have downloaded and looked at the
    function code from gnumeric but never got around to using it.
     There may be some easily modified but useful functions there, like the three
    above.
