[Rivet] problems with RivetGun/Alpgen

[renkel at physics.smu.edu]

Dear Riveters,

I am trying to install AlpGen, so it is linked with Pythia, and Rivet 
for testing purposes.

Looking at this page:

http://projects.hepforge.org/agile/trac/wiki/AlpGen,

I see that it is possible to link them with RivetGun. Is there any 
difference in output between RivetGun and Rivet? Then, there is a link 
there:

http://www.hepforge.org/downloads/cedar

This link should point to the Alpgen under hepforge, but Alpgen is not 
among its packages. http://www.hepforge.org/projects At least its not 
shown in this page.

I tried to go here:

http://lcgapp.cern.ch/project/simu/generator/genser-bootstrap.html

for the bootstrap packqage. The file points to 
http://simu.cvs.cern.ch/cgi-bin/simu.cgi/ If I cd by hand, I see alpgen 
here 
http://simu.cvs.cern.ch/cgi-bin/simu.cgi/simu/GENSER3/pkgsrc/MCGenerators/

But when I try to execute the script with alpgen, I get:

./genser-bootstrap.sh 
--build-prefix=/work/scathach-clued0/SMU/renkel/tunes/genser2/

So there is some problem with CVS access. So I am stuck. Can you please 
help? I summarize:

1. Is RivetGun gives the same formats of file as Rivet?

2. The RivetGun page links to an empty page without alpgen.

3. When I found Alpgen at the different place, there is some problem with CVS

4. If I manage to get through step 3, will this alpgen installation be 
linked to RivetGun (Rivet)?

Thanks in advance!

Peter.
