// HepJamesRandom implements the algorithm by Marsaglia-Zaman RANMAR
// described in "F.James, Comp. Phys. Comm. 60 (1990) 329" and implemented
// in FORTRAN77 as part of the MATHLIB HEP library for pseudo-random
// numbers generation.
// This is the default random engine invoked by each distribution unless
// the user sets a different one.
 
// =======================================================================
// Gabriele Cosmo - Created: 5th September 1995
//                - Minor corrections: 31st October 1996
//                - Added methods for engine status: 19th November 1996
//                - setSeed(), setSeeds() now have default dummy argument
//                  set to zero: 11th July 1997
// J.Marraffino   - Added stream operators and related constructor.
//                  Added automatic seed selection from seed table and
//                  engine counter: 16th Feb 1998
// Ken Smith      - Added conversion operators:  6th Aug 1998
// V. Innocente   - changed pointers to indices     3 may 2000
// Mark Fischler  - Methods for distrib. instance save/restore 12/8/04    
//  Mark Fischler    methods for anonymous save/restore 12/27/04
