// This is a simple test program.

// Input and output files are specified on the command line, e.g. like
// ./main32.exe main32.cmnd hepmcout32.dat > out
// The main program contains no analysis; this is intended to happen later.
// It therefore "never" has to be recompiled to handle different tasks.
