Revision 1.19  2002/09/09 17:23:28  nilsen
Minor changes in support of changes to AliITSdigitS?D class'.

Revision 1.18  2002/08/21 22:11:13  nilsen
Debug output now settable via a DEBUG flag.

Revision 1.17  2002/07/16 17:00:17  barbera
Fixes added to make the slow simulation running with the current HEAD (from M. Masera)

Revision 1.16  2002/06/19 16:02:22  hristov
Division by zero corrected

Revision 1.15  2002/03/15 17:32:14  nilsen
Reintroduced SDigitization, and Digitization from SDigits, along with
functions InitSimulationModule, and FinishSDigitizModule.

Revision 1.14  2001/11/23 13:04:07  barbera
Some protection added in case of high multiplicity

Revision 1.13  2001/11/13 11:13:24  barbera
A protection against tracks with the same entrance and exit has been made more strict

Revision 1.12  2001/10/04 22:44:31  nilsen
Major changes in supppor of PreDigits (SDigits). Changes made with will make
it easier to suppor expected changes in AliITSHit class. Added use of new
class AliITSpList. Both SPD and SDD have added effects of Dead Channels. Both
of these will require addtional work as data bases of detectors and the like
are developed.
