As promised, here is some information on the programs and program libraries
you'll need to access the MINOS software repository and to make GMINOS work.

*****************************************************************************
                                 CVS
*****************************************************************************
  In order to be able to check things out of the CVS repository, you'll need
to have an account (or access to an account) on a UNIX machine that has CVS 
installed.  The version installed on BIGBANG at Indiana is the newest release,
cvs-1.7.  Version 1.6 (as currently installed at FNAL) seems to work fine,
at least for the simplest check-out command.

  If your site does not have CVS installed, you have your choice of many
free software distribution sites to get the CVS package.  An exhaustive
listing of these "anonymous ftp" sites can be found on the World Wide Web
at
   http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-ftp.html

I'll also list here a few of the ftp sites contained on the above web page:

  U.S.
  ----
      prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu
      wuarchive.wustl.edu:/systems/gnu

  U.K.
  ----
      ftp.mcc.ac.uk
      src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/gnu

  France
  ------
      irisa.irisa.fr:/pub/gnu

The CVS distribution comes with good instructions for installation and with
user documentation that can be read with the Emacs info utility.  I also
recommend having a look at the web page
   http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html.
It has a listing of several reference documents on CVS, as well as a 
postscript version of the reference manual that comes with the CVS
distribution.


******************************************************************************
                                  ADAMO
******************************************************************************

  Since we have decided to use ADAMO (at least on a trial basis) for 
managing data structures, you will want to install ADAMO on your favorite  
computer, whether UNIX or VMS (or even MSDOS, if you're so inclined.)

  Information about ADAMO can be obtained from the CERN www site
     http://www1.cern.ch/Adamo/ADAMO_ENTRY.html

  The distribution package for ADAMO can be obtained from:

    (1) the VMS export directory at CERN

          DECNET:       VSCRNA          (22.218)
          IP/Internet:  vscrna.cern.ch  (128.141.202.14)

                  DISK$ALEPH1:[ADAMOMAN.EXPORT]

    (2) the anonymous ftp site

          ptsun00.cern.ch:/pub/adamo

The README files and the file patchystyle.installation contain the necessary
installation information.


*****************************************************************************
              Link libraries for the GMINOS executable
*****************************************************************************

      GEANT  --   geant321

      CERNLIBS -- pawlib, packlib, kernlib, mathlib, graflib, grafX11
        (both versions 94a and 95a of the CERN Program Library have 
         been successfully used for GMINOS)

      ADAMO  --   tap  (the version that comes with the above specified
                           distribution is 3.3)

      X11LIBS --  X11, Xt, m

 For the following two libraries, there is now a module in the MINOS
 repository that contains the necessary source code and Makefiles.  The
 module is called "misc" and can be checked out of the repository using
 the same command syntax as when one checks out, for example, "gminos".

      STDHEP  --  stdhep         

      LUND    --  lund ( + ludata.o)
