//       Software Specification Documents (SSD)
//       Software User Manual (SUM): on-line version available
//       Technical Note (TN) on the physics and algorithms
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// CHANGE HISTORY
// --------------
// 26/10/2004, F Lei
//    Added the Multiple_vertex capability.
//    Removed "inline" from all Set/Get methods.
//
// Version 2.0, 05/02/2004, Fan Lei, Created.
//    based on version 1.1 in Geant4 v6.0
//     - Mutilple particle source definition
//     - Re-structured commands
//     - Split the task into smaller classes
//
//     - old commonds have been retained for backward compatibility, but will 
//       be removed in the future. 
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Class Description:
//
// The General Particle Source is designed to replace the  G4ParticleGun class. 
// It is designed to allow specification of mutiple particle sources, each with 
// independent definitions of particle type, position, direction (or angular) 
// and energy distributions.  
//
