/**************************************************************************\

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 limbs.

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.
