Status of the given gean version: VERSION 02-01 1. Since the same geometry may be valid for different Arte-releases the geo subdirectory is taken out of the $HBVERS directory and put directly under $HB, i.e.$HB/geo/SVD ... So if geometry changes are given without changing the code, they are possible with a frequency of few minutes, i.e. without "waiting" for a new ARTE-release. 2. Nearly all ascii file names with geometry input are now given within the gversxxxxxx.dat file - so different geometries can be accessed by the code without changing the code itself. At the moment there exist gvers000801.dat with the design geometry gvers981117.dat with 98 geometry, latest changes included; gvers980802.dat with the 98 geometry (mid november) gvers980801.dat with the 98 geometry (full MC01 and MC02) Other will follow. All these files are in geo/GVERS. In $HB/geo/GVERS there is a README file which gives informations about about the differences between the different versions. 3. At geometry generation time NEDE (nominal GEDE) banks are installed and stored in the .geo files. When running gean (tracing of tracks) or reading geometry data from .geo files the NEDE banks are copied into GEDE banks, so except for pure geometry creation the user has always to do with GEDE banks. Note however that in the geansim.kumac files the commands must be MMWRIT GEOMOUT NGHD instead of MMWRIT GEOMOUT GEHD 4. The command DETV should be only used, if someone wants to exclude a subdetector type completely (former SIDU ... MUDU). In all other cases the short/long version is automatically connected with the version number via the gversxxxx.dat file. 5. Magnet off/on can be controlled by a card 'MAGNET ON' or 'MAGNET OFF' within the .kumac file (before the GEAN command) 6.The introduction of database is postponed at the moment. 7.Due to increasing complexity of the detector and the request from some subdetectors to have modules (intermediate volumina between GESL and GEDE) it happened, that in some cases the table informations GEDE_LAY, GEDE_SEC and MIMP_GEDE were packed with the original values in the lower half of the word. Meanwhile another solution has been found, so that now GEDE_SEC and GEDE_LAY are reduced to its original meaning. 7. In ARTE a spherical shell segment is accepted as a possible geometrical shape. 9. The production of mimps in the Rich is reduced with effectivity cuts. 10. Some bugs have been corrected, in some cases the structure of the code has been improved. 11. The version has been tested on linux and hydra together with digi.
