any algorithm for computing the inverse normal cumulative distribution function?

Thank you all. Actually I was looking for a generator which has a better tail distribution. I used Acklam's method before. Is Ziggurat better or not? Thanks.

any algorithm for computing the inverse normal cumulative distribution function?

I use MT for uniform random number. I don't want to use box-muller for standard normal and try to find a good algorithm for computing the inverse normal cumulative distribution function. any suggestion? Thanks a lot.
