skewed randoms

[Ginger Booth]

Dear gang,
        Does anyone happen to know how to generate skewed random
Gaussian deviates? The normally distributed random numbers are
no problem, I'm just trying to figure out how to skew (er? :) them.
(Will now put pen to paper and see if I can figure it out.... ;)

Thanks,
