// Streamlined event generation with possibility to output ROOT files,
// output HepMC files and run RIVET analyses, all by specifying output modes
// in a cmnd file, where also the event generator settings are specified.
// The example is run with command line options, run ./main144 -h to see a
// full list. See ROOT Usage for information about ROOT output, RIVET Usage
// for information about RIVET and HepMC Interface for information about HepMC.
