[Rivet] AIDA branch closed (gzip next...)

[James Monk]

Hi Andy,

The idea was always that it would be off by default, unless you enable it, in which case you’d better have the compiled library.  Alternatively, it could enable itself if it finds the compiled library.

I’ve found it pretty useful though - the combination of gzipped files and HepMC filtering means storing events becomes worthwhile again.

cheers,

James
