How to use runMC (generation/simulation/production at once)

 1. Copy following tarball file to your working area
    /cdf/data17a/ukyang/mcProd_dec23_mcv4_9_1_v06/runMCmcv4_9_1_v06.tar.gz
    (runMC version 6 with 4.9.1)

    cf)Tarball file in Top's group MC page doesn't work with our machine,
       neither does their script to create tarball file.

 2. setup cdfsoft2 4.9.1
    tar -xzvf runMCmcv4_9_1_v06.tar.gz

    then you will have "runMC" executible file in your working area.

 3. Two ways to use runMC executible.
      
    a. Doing generation/simulatin/production at once
        (good for PYTHIA/HERWIG data generation)

	1. "source source_me"
        2. "runMC pythia_bbbar.tcl" 
             (PYTHIA: 20K events for QCD bbbar processes)

        cf) tcl files for various processes can be found at
          http://www-cdf.fnal.gov/internal/physics/top/mc/mc_samples_491.shtml


    b. Doing simuation/prouduction once for a given HEPG file
        (good for any Matrix Element generators)

	1. "source source_me"
        2. "runMC runMCscript.tcl"

	   cf) you need to assign your input HEPG file name 
               and output production file name in runMCscript.tcl file.

               pythia_bbbar.tcl, runMCscript.tcl file are located at 
               /cdf/data17a/ukyang/runMC/runMCmcv4_9_1_v06
