//_HADES_CLASS_DESCRIPTION 
////////////////////////////////////
//HDataSource
// 
//  This is an abstract base class. Its derived classes provide the data needed 
// for the reconstruction, reading them from different sources.
//
//  The main method of this class is getNextEvent() which is responsible of 
// reading data from the source (file...) and put them into the event pointed 
// by fEventAddr
//
//  The return value is:
//      kDsOk --------> no error.
//      kDsEndFile ---> file's end.
//      kDsEndData ---> data's end.
//      kDsError -----> error.
//
//  Another important method is init(). In this method the data source must
// setup all what it needs to run (get pointers to the target categories, and 
// if the returned pointer is NULL, create those categories ...).
//
//
//  Within the whole framework, the data sources (classes inherited from
// HDataSource) are the responsible for reading the event's data before its
// proccessing.
