Running Gismo

Setting environment variables
The following environment variables need to be set. They tell Gismo the locations of the data files needed by the XML interface and the materials files needed by PEGS. It is also helpful, but not required, to set an environment variable that specifies the location of the xml data files.
Environment variables may be set using setenv if you are using a tsch type shell, or export if you are using the bash shell under Linux.
Variable		Value
ICU_DATA		/your/install/path/gismo/xmlImport/icu/Linux/YOUR-SYS/icu/1.2.5
PEGS4PATH		/your/install/path/gismo/V-3-1-1/PEGS4
XML_DAT			/your/install/path/gismo/V-3-1-1/util/xml/V-1-0-5/dat
Where YOUR-SYS is SunOS or Linux.
It may also be necessary to copy the detParms.dtd to the bat_bat or win_win executable directories. The detParms.dtd file is located in the $XML_DAT path and the binary executable paths are /your/install/path/V-3-1-1/bat/bat/V-3-1-1/exe/YOUR-SYS and /your/install/path/gismo/V-3-1-1/win/win/V-3-1-1/exe/YOUR-SYS.

Running the programs (batch or GUI version)
The bat_bat and win_win both take the following command line parameters.
Parameter		example
Detector Description	$XML_DAT/largeParms2.xml
Event source type	HEPEVT
Event source file	your-stdhep-input.stdhep
Number of events	3
Output file		test.sio
Run number		1
Random Seed		19780513
Running the batch version of Gismo is straightforward. Just feed it all of the parameters and then go have a cup of java.
cd /your/install/path/gismo/V-3-1-1/bat/bat/V-3-1-1/exe/YOUR-SYS
./bat_bat $XML_DAT/largeParms2.xml HEPEVT your-stdhep-input.stdhep 3 test.sio 1 19780513
The GUI version has a few more bells and whistles, and the interface is self-explanatory, so I won't get into how to run it here. To run the GUI version:
cd /your/install/path/gismo/V-3-1-1/win/win/V-3-1-1/exe/YOUR-SYS
./win_win $XML_DAT/largeParms2.xml HEPEVT your-stdhep-input.stdhep 3 test.sio 1 19780513
