Depending on what you want to do, also check out commands like -corr2data-, 
-drawnorm- and -simulate-.

Unless you happen to have one of its 30 year old manuals, it is hard to 
find out.  I don't think it wants its business customers to know anything 
about its social science origins.

If you happen to catch Bill Gould at a meetings sometime, like I did, he 
can give you the details about all the careful thought that went into the 
name "bi-turbo Stata" (as opposed to plain old Turbo Stata) for one of 
Stata's earlier incarnations.
