Hi, I want to generate random samples from truncated normal say Normal(0,1)Indicator((0,1),(2,4)). It has more than one intervals. In the library msm, it seems to me that the 'lower' and 'upper' arguments can only be a number. I tried rtnorm(1,mean=0,sd=1, lower=c(0,2),upper=c(1,4)) and it didn't work. Can you tell me how I can do truncated normal at more than one intervals?

First, I love R and am grateful to be using this free and extremely high quality software. Recently I have been comparing two algorithms and naturally I programmed in R first. It is so slow that I can almost feel its pain. So I decided to do a comparison with Java. To draw 500,0000 truncated normal, Java program takes 2 second and R takes 72 seconds. Not a computer science major, I find it hard
