Source Code:

• normal_01_cdf_values.m returns some values of the Normal 01 CDF.
• ppnd.m produces the normal deviate value corresponding to lower tail area = P.
• timestamp.m prints out the current YMDHMS date as a timestamp.

Examples and Tests:

• asa111_test.m, a sample calling program.
• asa111_test01.m, tests PPND.
• asa111_test_output.txt, the output file.
