// Abstract interface for GEANT4 Global Fast Simulation Manager.
// P. Mora de Freitas & M. Verderi 14/April/1999.
//
// Class description:
//
// G4GlobalFastSimulationManager is a "Singleton", i.e., only one instance 
// of it may exist. This is ensured by making the constructor private.
//
// G4VGlobalFastSimulationManager is an abstract interface for the
// G4GlobalFastSimulationManager one. It has the public access function
// GetConcreteInstance(), which is used to obtain a pointer to the concrete 
// G4GlobalFastSimulationManager, should it exist. After
//
// G4VGlobalFastSimulationManager* pVFSMan =  
//     G4VGlobalFastSimulationManager::GetConcreteInstance ();
//
// pVFSMan points to the real (concrete) G4GlobalFastSimulationManager if
// at least a parameterisation envelope exists, otherwise is zero.  
//
// Thus all code must be protected, for example by:
//   if (pVFSMan) 
//    G4FlavoredParallelWorld* =
//      pVFSMan -> GetFlavoredWorldForThis(p);
//
