[seqfan] Need a distribution

For a work project, I need a 1D continuous distribution that is like a
Gaussian in that it has a "bulge" and "tails", but also has skewness (i.e.
the two tails can independently drop off slowly or quickly).
I would expect this distribution to have at least 3 parameters (e.g. mean,
variance, and skewness).
I need the equation for the density function and a way to choose parameters
for a distribution to fit a set of data points.
Any pointers from the more statistically fluent would be greatly
appreciated. I am copying to seqfan, in hopes of possibly snagging some help
there, apologies.
Please reply to dwilson at ltk.com.
Thanks in advance.
