st: Generating random variables with logistic distribution

[Richard Williams <Richard.A.Williams.5@ND.edu>]

I know how to generate random variables with normal and uniform 
distributions.  How about other distributions - in particular, 
logistic?  Is there a program around that already does this, or can 
somebody tell me what the formula is?  I seem to vaguely remember seeing 
something like this but now I can't find it.  Thanks.
