33    NON-REPRODUCIBILITY PROBLEM OF A GPAMELA RUN FIXED.
34    The non-reproducibility of a GPAMELA run was due to the random number
35    initialization in the GARFIELD code. In GARFIELD by default, the initial
36    seeds of the random number generators are always the same while the random
37    number generators are called a given number of times (determined by the
38    hour of the day) during the initialization phase (see init.f subroutine in
39    the GARFIELD code for details). Follows that different runs produce
40    different results without changing the initial seeds. To have identical
41    results in different runs, the GARFIELD program has to start typing the
42    noRNDM_initialisation switch. To avoid of specifying this switch by the user,
43    the GARFIELD package has been upgraded with a patch. In this way the problem
44    is partially solved because, now, the initial seeds of the random generators
45    in GARFIELD will be always the same even if the RNDM GEANT data card is
46    activated by the user for changing the initial seeds in the GPAMELA program.
47    Work is in progress for a more general correction of this problem.
48    Please, use the updated GARFIELD code released with the CVS version v4r1
49    to fix this problem.

52    RNDM ROUTINE REPLACED BY THE GRNDM ROUTINE IN GPXTR AND NPOISS.
53    The obsolete RNDM random number generator has been replaced by the GEANT
54    GRNDN routine in the gpxtr.F subroutine and in the npoiss.F function.
55    
56    BUG FOUND AND FIXED: the set and detector calorimeter addresses (ISCAL
57    and IDCASI variables) used in GUTREV were respectively set to a fixed
58    values of 12 and 1. The correct values of these variables are stored in
59    the GPSED common when the set and the detector ZEBRA banks are filled
60    during a run. In general the values of the set and detector addresses
61    depend on the number of active detectors in a given run. ISCAL=12 and
62    IDCASI=1 are only right when all the detectors of GPAMELA are active.
