[Rivet] Herwig 6.510 and AGILe HepMC issues

[Frank Siegert]

Hi David,

>From the header of the Herwig events that you posted it looks like the
cross section is set to infinity:

C inf inf

This is probably why Rivet refuses to read the events. Now the
question is why Agile is not setting this cross section correctly, but
since I'm not familiar with Agile, I'll let somebody else comment on
that. Could you just try and confirm that Rivet reads this alright if
you replace all of the infinite C lines with a dummy like

C 100.0 1.0

?

Cheers,
Frank
