// Implementation for class G4MagInt_Driver
// Tracking in space dependent magnetic field
//
// History of major changes:
//  8 Nov 01  J. Apostolakis:   Respect minimum step in AccurateAdvance
// 27 Jul 99  J. Apostolakis:   Ensured that AccurateAdvance does not loop 
//                              due to very small eps & step size (precision)
// 28 Jan 98  W. Wander:        Added ability for low order integrators
//  7 Oct 96  V. Grichine       First version
