//  The below code is a modified version of the ROOT/TMinuit class
// in order to have a stand alone C++ version of the Minuit package.
//
//  The usage of TString has been replaced by the usage of std::string
// The reference to TNamed, TObject and TMethods has been removed. 
// In "the ROOT of everything" it could be reintroduced through a 
// class TMinuit that could inherit the Midnight one (we can dream no ?).
//
//    G.Barrand

//*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*The Minimization package*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
//*-*                    ========================                         *
//*-*                                                                     *
//*-*   This package was originally written in Fortran by Fred James      *
//*-*   and part of PACKLIB (patch D506)                                  *
//*-*                                                                     *
//*-*   It has been converted to a C++ class  by R.Brun                   *
//*-*   The current implementation in C++ is a straightforward conversion *
//*-*   of the original Fortran version: The main changes are:            *
//*-*                                                                     *
//*-*   - The variables in the various Minuit labelled common blocks      *
//*-*     have been changed to the Minuit class data members.            *
//*-*   - The include file Minuit.h has been commented as much as possible*
//*-*     using existing comments in the code or the printed documentation*
//*-*   - The original Minuit subroutines are now member functions.       *
//*-*   - Constructors and destructor have been added.                    *
//*-*   - Instead of passing the FCN  function in the argument            *
//*-*     list, the addresses of this function is stored as pointer       *
//*-*     in the data members of the class. This is by far more elegant   *
//*-*     and flexible in an interactive environment.                     *
//*-*     The member function SetFCN can be used to define this pointer.  *
//*-*   - The ROOT static function Printf is provided to replace all      *
//*-*     format statements and to print on currently defined output file.*
//*-*   - The derived class MinuitOld contains obsolete routines from    *
//*-*     the Fortran based version.                                      *
