 // Forward Multiplicity Detector based on Silicon wafers. This class
 // contains the base procedures for the Forward Multiplicity detector
-// Detector consists of 5 Si volumes covered pseudorapidity interval
-// from 1.7 to 5.1.
+// Detector consists of 3 sub-detectors FMD1, FMD2, and FMD3, each of
+// which has 1 or 2 rings of silicon sensors. 
 //                                                       
 // This is the base class for all FMD manager classes. 
 //                    
 // The actual code is done by various separate classes.   Below is
 // diagram showing the relationship between the various FMD classes
-// that handles the geometry 
+// that handles the simulation

+// *  AliFMDv0
+//    This is a concrete implementation of the AliFMD interface. 
+//    It is the responsibility of this class to create the FMD
+//    geometry.

 //    geometry, process hits in the FMD, and serve hits and digits to
 //    the various clients. 
 //  
-//    It uses the objects of class AliFMDSubDetector to do the various
-//    stuff for FMD1, 2, and 3 
-//
-// *  AliFMDRing 
-//    This class contains all stuff needed to do with a ring.  It's
-//    used by the AliFMDSubDetector objects to instantise inner and
-//    outer rings.  The AliFMDRing objects are shared by the
-//    AliFMDSubDetector objects, and owned by the AliFMDv1 object. 
-//
-// *  AliFMDPolygon 
-//    The code I lifted from TGeoPolygon to help with the geometry of
-//    the modules, as well as to decide wether a hit is actually with
-//    in the real module shape.  The point is, that the shape of the
-//    various ring modules are really polygons (much like the lid of a
-//    coffin), but it's segmented at constant radius.  That is very
-//    hard to implement using GEANT 3.21 shapes, so instead the
-//    modules are implemented as TUBS (tube sections), and in the step
-//    procedure we do the test whether the track was inside the real
-//    shape of the module.  
-//
-// *  AliFMD1, AliFMD2, and AliFMD3 
-//    These are specialisation of AliFMDSubDetector, that contains the
-//    particularities of each of the sub-detector system.  It is
-//    envisioned that the classes should also define the support
-//    volumes and material for each of the detectors.                          
+// *  AliFMDSimulator
+//    This is the base class for the FMD simulation tasks.   The
+//    simulator tasks are responsible to implment the geoemtry, and
+//    process hits. 
 //                                                                          
-// The responsible person for this module is Alla Maevskaia
-// <Alla.Maevskaia@cern.ch>.
+// *  AliFMDGeoSimulator
+//    This is a concrete implementation of the AliFMDSimulator that
+//    uses the TGeo classes directly only.
