One more alternative to -rndbin- in addition to those mentioned by Nick in his
response as of 21sep2007

> http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-09/msg00689.html

is the -genbinomial- command (an extension of -rndbinx-).  It uses a plugin
for the binomial generation algorithm and therefore should be faster than
-rndbin- and -rndbinx-.  See

 . findit genbinomial

for more information.
