//                          class header file
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// This file is part of Geant4 (simulation toolkit for HEP).

// Class defining methods for shooting gaussian distributed random values,
// given a mean (default=0) or specifying also a deviation (default=1).
// Gaussian random numbers are generated two at the time, so every
// other time shoot is called the number returned is the one generated the
// time before.
// Default values are used for operator()().

//                - Minor corrections: 31st October 1996
//                - Added methods to shoot arrays: 28th July 1997
// J.Marraffino   - Added default arguments as attributes and
