 *
 The FairAsciiGenerator reads an Ascii input file. The file must contain
 for each event a header line of the format  NTRACKS  IEV  VX VY VZ,
 where NTRACKS is the number of tracks in the event, IEV the event number,
 and VX, VY, VZ the event vertex coordinates in cm. The header line is
 followed by NTRACKS lines of the format G3PID, PX, PY, PZ, where
 G3PID is the GEANT3 particle code, and PX, PY, PZ the cartesian 
 momentum coordinates in GeV.
 Derived from FairGenerator.
