// =======================================================================
// S.Magni & G.Pieri - Created: 5th September 1995
// G.Cosmo           - Added constructor using default engine from the
//                     static generator. Simplified shoot() and
//                     shootArray() (not needed in principle!): 20th Aug 1998
// M.G.Pia & G.Cosmo - Fixed bug in computation of theIntegralPdf in
//                     two constructors: 5th Jan 1999
// S.Magni & G.Pieri - Added linear interpolation: 24th Mar 1999
// M. Fischler       - General cleanup: 14th May 1999
//                      + Eliminated constructor code replication by factoring 
//                        common code into prepareTable.
//                      + Eliminated fire/shoot code replication by factoring 
//                        out common code into mapRandom.  
//                      + A couple of methods are moved inline to avoid a 
//                        speed cost for factoring out mapRandom:  fire()
//                        and shoot(anEngine).
//                      + Inserted checks for negative weight and zero total 
//                        weight in the bins.
//                      + Modified the binary search loop to avoid incorrect
//                        behavior when rand is example on a boundary.
//                      + Moved the check of InterpolationType up into 
//                        the constructor.  A type other than 0 or 1
//                        will give the interpolated distribution (instead of
//                        a distribution that always returns 0).
//                      + Modified the computation of the returned value
//                        to use algeraic simplification to improve speed.
//                        Eliminated two of the three divisionns, made
//                        use of the fact that nabove-nbelow is always 1, etc.
//                      + Inserted a check for rand hitting the boundary of a
//                        zero-width bin, to avoid dividing 0/0.  
// M. Fischler        - Minor correction in assert 31 July 2001
//                      + changed from assert (above = below+1) to ==
// M Fischler         - put and get to/from streams 12/15/04
//                      + Modifications to use a vector as theIntegraPdf
// M Fischler         - put/get to/from streams uses pairs of ulongs when
//                      + storing doubles avoid problems with precision 
//                      4/14/05
