[Rivet] agile-runmc Alpgen

[stefania spagnolo]

Dear Andy and Hendrik, 

thanks for your answers; 
I'll have a look at the  AGILe's src/AlpGen/AlpGen.cc file. 
In any case it looks like I'm not asking the question to the right forum... 
any suggestion on who else I might ask ? 

Thanks a lot, 
Stefania
