// RANECU Random Engine - algorithm originally written in FORTRAN77
//                        as part of the MATHLIB HEP library.
// The initialisation is carried out using a Multiplicative Congruential
// generator using formula constants of L'Ecuyer as described in "F.James,
// Comp. Phys. Comm. 60 (1990) 329-344".
// Seeds are taken from a seed table given an index, the getSeed() method
// returns the current index in the seed table, the getSeeds() method
// returns a pointer to the couple of seeds stored in the local table of
// seeds at the current index.

// Gabriele Cosmo - Created: 2nd February 1996
//                - Minor corrections: 31st October 1996
//                - Added methods for engine status: 19th November 1996
//                - setSeed() now has default dummy argument
//                  set to zero: 11th July 1997
//                - Added default index to setSeeds(): 16th Oct 1997
// J.Marraffino   - Added stream operators and related constructor.
//                  Added automatic seed selection from seed table and
//                  engine counter: 16th Feb 1998
