// Study total, elastic and diffractive cross sections in several models.
// Most only available for pp and p pbar; and RPP only for total and elastic.
// ABMST has been modified for diffraction, see html manual for details.

// Note: This main program circumvents the need to generate loads of events
// to just output total cross sections, by creating a free standing object
// of type SigmaTotal, and copy relevant information from the Pythia object.
// See main486.cc for example how to use the public cross section methods.
