// Class defining methods for shooting exponential distributed random
// values, given a mean (default mean = 1).
// Default mean is used for operator()().

// Gabriele Cosmo - Created: 5th September 1995
//                - Added methods to shoot arrays: 28th July 1997
// J.Marraffino   - Added default mean as attribute and
//                  operator() with mean: 16th Feb 1998
// M Fischler      - put and get to/from streams 12/10/04
