Ira, have a look into Abramowitz & Stegun: Handbook of Mathematical Functions, Sec. 26 (Probability functions), Par. 8 (Methods of generating random numbers..), Pts. 4 and 6. (page 952f. in the 9th ed.). The acceptance-rejection method works fast in my experience. The given recipe can easily be translated into a very simple computer code. The limitation of this method is that the domain of the resulting random variable is finite.
