Dear list members,

I am looking for a goodness of test that will tell me if a sample is
likely to have come from a standard normal distribution. I can find
plenty of omnibus tests for normality in the nor.test package, but none
of them appear to allow me to test against the specific alternative that
the data are not standard normal. My back up option is to use a
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, but my impression is that that is not a very
powerful test. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
