_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This simple program compares a double-exponential distribution
     with  parameter a=1 and a double-exponential distribution with
     parameter a!=1 in their approximation to the standard normal
     distribution. Quite obviously, this function is not to be used
     when compared when 'rnorm'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     normbyde(nsim = 10^3, a = 3)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    nsim: Number of simulations

       a: Scale of the second double-exponential scale

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The function produces a tryptich graph with the comparison of the
     cumulated averages, and both acf graphs.
