<H4>Routine</H4>
<DL>
<DT>
double MSfGaussRand (double rms)
</DL>
<H4>Purpose</H4>
<DL>
<DT>
Generate a Gaussian pseudo-random value
</DL>
<H4>Description</H4>
This routine generates pseudo-random numbers with a Gaussian distribution.
The numbers are generated by summing 12 uniformly distributed pseudo-random
numbers.  The result is approximately Gaussian (central limit theorem) with a
range between -6 and +6 standard deviations.  This routine uses the function
UTfUnifRand as the source of uniform pseudo-random numbers.
<H4>Parameters</H4>
<DL>
<DT>
&lt;-  double MSfGaussRand
<DD>
Gaussian deviate, mean zero, standard deviation rms
<DT>
 -&gt; double rms
<DD>
Root-mean square value of the deviate (standard deviation)
