// Important note: This class uses HepMC::HEPEVT_Wrapper which is an
//                 interface to the fortran77 HEPEVT common block.
//                 The precision and number of entries in the F77 common 
//                 block can be specified. See HepMC/HEPEVT_Wrapper.h.
//                 You will very likely have to specify these values for your
//                 application.

	/// Since HEPEVT has bi-directional pointers, it is possible that
	/// the mother/daughter pointers are inconsistent (though physically
	/// speaking this should never happen). In practise it happens often.
	/// When a conflict occurs (i.e. when mother/daughter pointers are in 
	/// disagreement, where an empty (0) pointer is not considered a 
	/// disagreement) an error is printed. These errors can be turned off 
	/// with:            myio_hepevt.set_print_inconsistency_errors(0);
	/// but it is STRONGLY recommended that you print the HEPEVT 
	/// common and understand the inconsistency BEFORE you turn off the
	/// errors. The messages are there for a reason [remember, there is
	/// no message printed when the information is missing, ... only when
	/// is it inconsistent. User beware.]
	/// You can inspect the HEPEVT common block for inconsistencies with
	///   HEPEVT_Wrapper::check_hepevt_consistency()
	///
	/// There is a switch controlling whether the mother pointers or
	/// the daughters are to be trusted.
	/// For example, in Pythia the mother information is always correctly
	/// included, but the daughter information is often left unfilled: in
	/// this case we want to trust the mother pointers and not necessarily
	/// the daughters. [THIS IS THE DEFAULT]. Unfortunately the reverse
	/// happens for the stdhep(2001) translation of Isajet, so we need
	/// an option to toggle the choices.
