Your problem really isn't well defined. Should 
your variables have a normal distribution or 
should they be something else? Are you talking 
univariate or multivariate distributions? 

I don't think your post can be answered usefully
without more detail. 

I gather from your email that you are using 
Intercooled Stata.
