+function x = gsamp(mu, covar, nsamp)
+%GSAMP	Sample from a Gaussian distribution.
+%
+%	Description
+%
+%	X = GSAMP(MU, COVAR, NSAMP) generates a sample of size NSAMP from a
+%	D-dimensional Gaussian distribution. The Gaussian density has mean
+%	vector MU and covariance matrix COVAR, and the matrix X has NSAMP
+%	rows in which each row represents a D-dimensional sample vector.
