// High Energy Physics", Computer Physics Communications (to be published).
//
// Reads a particle data table from file supplied in PDG format
// For the most recent table see: http://pdg.lbl.gov/computer_read.html
//
// Example of reading from file PDG98_ParticleDataTable.txt
//
//      IO_PDG_ParticleDataTable pdg_io("PDG98_ParticleDataTable.txt");
//      ParticleDataTable pdt = *pdg_io.read_particle_data_table();
//      (note the read_particle_data_table method comes from the IO_Baseclass)
//  or
//      IO_PDG_ParticleDataTable pdg_io("PDG98_ParticleDataTable.txt");
//      ParticleDataTable* pdt;
//      pdg_io >> pdt;       
//  in both cases IO_PDG_ParticleDataTable creates an instance of the 
//  ParticleDataTable which the user becomes owner of (i.e. user is 
//  responsible for deleting)
//
// Note the PDG table does not include antiparticles nor quarks (except top)
// You can make anti-particle entries corresponding to each charged entry with
// the method make_antiparticles_from_particles() and you can make default
// entries for the 6 quarks + anti-quarks with the method add_quarks_to_table()
// Continuing with the above example:
//      pdt->make_antiparticles_from_particles();
//      pdg_io.add_quarks_to_table( *pdt );
