// This class is the core of each event processing.                         //
// First you must set the parameter list to use. The parameter list         //
// must contain the task list (MTaskList) to use. The name of the task      //
// list can be specified if you call Eventloop. The standard name is        //
// "MTaskList". The name you specify must match the name of the MTaskList   //
// object.                                                                  //
//                                                                          //
// If you call Eventloop() first all PreProcess functions - with the        //
// parameter list as an argument - of the tasks in the task list are        //
// executed. If one of them returns kFALSE then the execution is stopped.   //
// If the preprocessing was ok, The Process function of the tasks are       //
// executed as long as one function returns kSTOP. Only the tasks which     //
// are marked as "All" or with a string which matches the MInputStreamID    //
// of MTaskList are executed. If one tasks returns kCONTINUE the pending    //
// tasks in the list are skipped and the execution in continued with        //
// the first one in the list.                                               //
// Afterwards the PostProcess functions are executed.                       //
//                                                                          //
// If you want to display the progress in a gui you can use SetProgressBar  //
// and a TGProgressBar or a MProgressBar. If you set a MStatusDisplay       //
// using SetDisplay, the Progress bar from this display is used.            //
//                                                                          //
// You can create a macro from a completely setup eventloop by:             //
//   evtloop.MakeMacro("mymacro.C");                                        //
//                                                                          //
// You will always need to check the macro, it will not run, but it         //
// should have al important information.                                    //
//                                                                          //

// You can also write all this information to a root file:                  //
//   TFile file("myfile.root");                                             //
//   evtloop.Write("MyEvtloopKey");                                         //
//                                                                          //
// You can afterwards read the information from an open file by:            //
//   evtloop.Read("MyEvtloopKey");                                          //
