//  G4FastSimulationManagerProcess.hh
//
//  Description:
//    The process that triggers parameterised simulations  if any.
//
//  History:
//  Feb 98: Parallel geometry sensitivity. MoraDeFreitas.
//  Oct 97: "Fast" replaces "Parameterisation" in class/method names. 
//          (release B.00 for parameterisation). MoraDeFreitas.
//  Aug 97: First implementation. Verderi && MoraDeFreitas.
//  Apr 98: modified for new particle change.  H.Kurashige
//  Oct 06: Move to parallel geometry scheme. M. Verderi
//  Nov 06: name xxx81 is given for this release. "81" will be
//          removed @ next maj. rel. so that this process becomes
//          the standard one.
//  May 07: remove "81" tags, to migrate to 9.0.
