Subject:      Generate a random variable from the Student's t distribution
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I searched the SAS language reference and found no
function that draws a random number from the Student's t distribution.
Must I use the RANGAM to generate random numbers from chi-square
distribution and then "compute" t myself instead?  This is possible, but
very desirable.
 
Any comments?  Thanks in advance! :>
