+\chapter*{Introduction}
+\section*{Purpose of this document}
+
+This document is intended to both explain who to use the ALICE simulation and
+reconstruction code with respect to or using the ITS detector as the
+examples. This document is also to explain how to add new code to the ITS
+simulation and reconstruction library, and who the existing ITS simulation and
+reconstruction code works. All comments from every user is greatly encouraged.
+
+\section*{How to Run AliRoot}
+
+At this point, we will assume that aliroot has been compiled and all the
+necessary environment variables have been defined, including your path. We will
+assume you are in an appropriate directory, for example \texttt{/data} or some
+such thing.
+
+to start with type, at your shell prompt, aliroot to start the program.

+WELCOME to ALICE
+
+root [0]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This will initialize ROOT and load all of the ALICE libraries. At this point you
+can do anything you can do in ROOT in addition you have access to every class
+defined in the ALICE libraries, including the ALICE global variables. One very
+useful ALICE global variable is \texttt{gAlice} which is of type
+\texttt{AliRun}. Of the many function defined in the class \texttt{AliRun} are
+\texttt{Init(const char* setup="Config.C")} and
+\texttt{Run(const char* setup="Config.C")}. \texttt{Run} both executes
+\texttt{Init} and starts executing an ALICE detector simulation. Both of these
+functions functions load and execute a configuration file. By default this
+configuration file is called \texttt{Config.C}. If such a file exists in your
+local directory, for example \texttt{/data}, or if there is no such file in
+your local directory it will execute the file
+\texttt{\$ALICE\_ROOT/macros/Config.C}. Some other configuration file can be
+run simplely by entering that file's name as the argument, for example
+\texttt{Init("MyConfig.C")} or \texttt{Run("MyConfig.C")} where
+\texttt{MyConfig.C} is either in your local directory (\texttt{/data}) or in
+\texttt{\$ALICE\_ROOT/macros}. Of course the full path of \texttt{MyConfig.C}
+can be used.
+
+Now lets assume you just want to one event using the standard \texttt{Config.C}
+file. This is done simply as
+\begin{verbatim}
