/**************************************************************************\
MODULE: ZZVec
SUMMARY:
The class ZZVec implements vectors of fixed-length ZZ's. You can
allocate a vector of ZZ's of a specified length, where the maximum
size of each ZZ is also specified. The size is measured in terms
of the number of zzigits.
These parameters can be specified either with a constructor
or with SetSize. It is an error to try to re-size a vector of non-zero length,
or store a ZZ that doesn't fit. The space can be released with "kill",
and then you are free to call SetSize again.
If you want more flexible---but less efficient---vectors, use vec_ZZ.
