[Rivet] Fwd: Running RAPGAP with RIVET

Hi all again,

I was busy last week and have only recently got round to looking at
the fifo's made by rapgap->agile

Sadly there may be another problem! I have attached 1 event from
rapgap steered with pp, ep and a pythia6 event. With rapgap, the
particles and vertexes appear to be there but the 4-momenta are all
zero?

Can I ask again if anyone has any ideas where along the line the data
has been lost? If I just run rapgap I do see what look like sensible
4-vecs printed to screen in the human readable summary.

Cheers, Tim.
