// This program provides a demonstration of the flavour rope model supplied
// in the Rope Hadronization framework. It produces four histograms
// showing the ratio of respectively K^0_s, Lambda_0, Cascade and Omega^-
// to pions as function of event multiplicity.
// No kind of Levy-Tsallis fitting, triggering or similar is done
// is this simple demonstration analysis. It should therefore not
// be taken as anything but a proof of concept.
