UNIFORM_DATASET (MATLAB version)
  Generate a uniform pseudorandom dataset.

  This program is meant to be used interactively.
  It is also possible to prepare a simple input 
  file beforehand and use it in batch mode.

  The program requests input values from the user:

  * NDIM, the spatial dimension,
  * N, the number of points to generate,
  * SEED, a seed for the random number generator.

  The program generates the data, writes it to the file

    uniform_NDIM_N.txt

  where "NDIM" and "N" are the numeric values specified
  by the user, and then asks the user for more input.

  To indicate that no further computations are 
  desired, it is enough to input a nonsensical value, 
  such as -1.

  NDIM is the spatial dimension.
  (Try '2' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter NDIM:  2
  User input NDIM = 2

  N is the number of points.
  (Try '25' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter N:  10
  User input N = 10

  SEED is a seed for the random number generator.
  (Try 123456789 if you have no preference.)
  (A value of 0 or less terminates execution.)
  Enter SEED:  123456789

  SEED = 123456789

  The data was written to the file "uniform_2_10.txt".

  NDIM is the spatial dimension.
  (Try '2' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter NDIM:  3
  User input NDIM = 3

  N is the number of points.
  (Try '25' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter N:  100
  User input N = 100

  SEED is a seed for the random number generator.
  (Try 123456789 if you have no preference.)
  (A value of 0 or less terminates execution.)
  Enter SEED:  123456789

  SEED = 123456789

  The data was written to the file "uniform_3_100.txt".

  NDIM is the spatial dimension.
  (Try '2' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter NDIM:  7
  User input NDIM = 7

  N is the number of points.
  (Try '25' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter N:  1000
  User input N = 1000

  SEED is a seed for the random number generator.
  (Try 123456789 if you have no preference.)
  (A value of 0 or less terminates execution.)
  Enter SEED:  123456789

  The data was written to the file "uniform_7_1000.txt".

  NDIM is the spatial dimension.
  (Try '2' if you have no preference.)
  Any value less than 1 terminates execution.
  Enter NDIM:  -1
  User input NDIM = -1

UNIFORM_DATASET
  The input value of NDIM = -1
  is interpreted as a request for termination.
  Normal end of execution.
