Notes
Interaction :-
NEXT FIELD> Input name of next field to be created, or ! to terminate list of fields.
>>> DISTRIBUTION TYPES AVAILABLE ARE --
>>> 1 UNIFORM IN RANGE 0 TO 1 <<<
>>> 2 EXPONENTIAL WITH PARAMETER P1 <<<
>>> 3 NORMAL, MEAN P1, STDEV P2 <<<
>>> 4 LAPLACE, MEAN P1, SPREAD P2 <<<
>>> 5 EXTREME VALUE, PARAMETERS P1,P2 <<<
>>> 6 CAUCHY, CENTRE P1, SPREAD P2 <<<
>>> 7 LOGNORMAL, LOG MEAN P1, LOG STDEV P2
<<< DISTRIB> Input distribution type required P1> Input Parameter 1 (see below) P2> Input Parameter 2 (see below) For distribution type
1: P1=undefined P2=undefined
2: P1=exp parameter P2=undefined
3: P1=mean P2=standard deviation
