// An example where the quarkonia hard process (p p -> J/psi g) is
// automatically produced externally with HelacOnia, read in, and the
// remainder of the event is then produced by Pythia (MPI, showers,
// and hadronization). A comparison is made between events produced
// with Pythia at LO and HelacOnia at LO.

// For this example to run, HelacOnia must be installed and the
// command "exe" (set by default as "ho_cluster") must be available
// via the command line. Note that this example has only been tested
// with HelacOnia version 2.2.4; due to rapid HelacOnia development,
// this example may not work with other versions. For more details on
// the LHAHelacOnia class see the comments of
// Pythia8Plugins/LHAHelacOnia.h.
