// Matt.Dobbs@Cern.CH, December 1999
// November 2000, updated to use Pythia 6.1
// example of generating events with Pythia
// using HepMC/PythiaWrapper.h 
// Events are read into the HepMC event record from the FORTRAN HEPEVT 
// common block using the IO_HEPEVT strategy and then output to file in
// ascii format using the IO_Ascii strategy.
// To Compile: go to the HepMC directory and type:
// gmake examples/example_MyPythia.exe
//
// In this example the precision and number of entries for the HEPEVT 
// fortran common block are explicitly defined to correspond to those 
// used in the Pythia version of the HEPEVT common block. 
//
// If you get funny output from HEPEVT in your own code, probably you have
// set these values incorrectly!
