// Class defining methods for shooting exponential distributed random

// Default mean is used for operator()().

// Gabriele Cosmo - Created: 5th September 1995

// J.Marraffino   - Added default mean as attribute and
//                  operator() with mean: 16th Feb 1998
// M Fischler      - put and get to/from streams 12/10/04
