I have two packages I wrote a while back that might be pertinent.  One 
implements multinormal distributions (binormal being of course a special 
case).  It includes random sampling from the distribution, conversion two 
and from standard normals, and I forget what else.  The other module 
produces contour plots of the fractiles of a binormal distribution.
