// Class Description 
//
//  General service class for the energy loss classes
//  
//  It contains code needed to compute the range tables,
//  time tables, the inverse range tables and some auxiliary
//  tables.
//  The energy loss fluctuation code is here,too.
//
//  All the EnergyLoss classes are inherited from G4VeLowEnergyLoss
//  class.
