// 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.
