//
// Description:
//     Holds information about the "environment" in which a track is created --
// BField, track id manager.  One of these objects must be passed 
// to the track when it is created.  The idea is to decouple the tracks 
// from the sources of this information.  (See TrkFitter/TrkContextEv for 
// semi-automatic creation of an object of this class.)
//
// Environment:
//      Software developed for the BaBar Detector at the SLAC B-Factory.
//
