//______________________________________________________________________________
//   Virtual MC provides a virtual interface to Monte Carlo.
//   It enables the user to build a virtual Monte Carlo application
//   independent of any actual underlying Monte Carlo implementation itself.
//
//   A user will have to implement a class derived from the abstract
//   Monte Carlo application class, and provide functions like
//   ConstructGeometry(), BeginEvent(), FinishEvent(), ... .
//   The concrete Monte Carlo (Geant3, Geant4) is selected at run time -
//   when processing a ROOT macro where the concrete Monte Carlo is instantiated.
