+ Jan 2008, Bari
+ PRESSURIZED CONTAINER GEOMETRY:
+    Pressurized container geometry has been updated: top container TSPH
+    now has been placed at the maximum distance, quoted in the ICD,
+    from S1: 5cm. This distance corresponds to the maximum one in
+    flight due to the cover deformation due to the internal
+    pressure. Three thermal cover layers (nylon6, mylar and aluminium,
+    respectively in the new volumes COV1, COV2 and COV3) have been
+    added to the top container.
+ NEW MATERIALS AND TRACKING MEDIA:
+    Two new materials have been implemented: AMg6M mixture for volume
+    TSPH, and Nylon6 mixture for volume COV1.  New tracking medium have
+    been added for Nylon6 Mixture (TNYL), AMg6M Mixture (TAMG) and Iron
+    (TIRO).
+ TOF GEOMETRY:
+    TOF geometry has been updated: Scintillators positions in the
+    GPAMELA reference system have been corrected shifting all
+    scintillator paddle by 23 microns.
+ TRACK NUMBER RECORDED FOR TOF:
+    The TOF structure now register the stack number into the HIT
+    structure. In GUSTEP the stack number is tested, if is greater than
+, i.e. the particle is not the primary, the particle number is set
+    to 1000+IPART and passed to GPUTOF. Accordingly, now IPARTOF
+    variable can assume 2000 values instead of 100.
+ POWER LAW SPECTRA GENERATION:
+    PLAW datacard parameters have been increased to 4. The meaning of
+    the 4th parameter is: extract random kinetic energy if PLAW(4)<0.,
+    or extract random momentum if PLAW(4)>=0..
+ Sept 2007, Bari
+ POWER LAW SPECTRA GENERATION:
+    It is now possible to select a power law spectra. Using the
+    datacard: PLAW, is possible to pass the spectral index and the
+    kinetic energy range. In PAWL(1) the user can pass the signed power
+    law index, i.e. PAWL -2.5, will generate a power law spectrum
+    according to exp(-2.5). Please note that the range is in kinetic
+    energy. In gukine the generated particle charateristics will be
+    retrived and the mass calculated from this infos. The KINE data
+    card assigned momentum will be overriden as well.
+ PATHLENGHT CALCULATION MODIFIED IN TOF:
+    The pathlength calulation saved in the TOF hit structure has now
+    been modified. Insted of the pathlenght inside each paddle the
+    average pathlenght from the generation vertex to the hit in the
+    paddle, is saved. In this way it will be possible to calculate the
+    beta using this variable.
+ ERROR IN MATERIAL ASSIGNMENT FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR:
+    The material assigned to the NDTU volume was wrong. It was
+    scintillator, IRON has been asigned now.
+ March 2007, Bari
+ CALO GEOMETRY:
+    An error was found in the original document describing PAMELA
+    geometry.  The shift along X axis of the X view planes are swapped,
+    i.e. they don't start with X=+0.05 but with X=-0.05.  The sequence
+    is: 0.05m -0.05, 0.05, -0.05 and so on.
+ MAKEFILE FIXED:
+    Option -fdebug_kludge has been discharged
+ GASATT WRNING FIXED:
+    There was a warning message from a graphic routine. The GSATT calls has been commented out.
+ December 2006, Bari
+ CARD GEOMETRY:
+ Positions, dimensions and quotes have been updated. Indeed, the aluminium table
+ under S1, legs included, and the magnetic screen between the CARD and S2 have
+ been added.
+ #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ November 2006, Bari
+ S4 GEOMETRY UPDATED:
+ The x and y dimensions have been corrected because they were wrong.
+ A container of aluminum has been added having walls of thickness equal
+ to 0.1 cm.
+ TOF POSITIONS DEFINITELY UPDATED:
+ S2 and S1 have been positioned again, after the simulation of the top plate.
+ Before now, the positions were put ad hoc based on the positions given by
+ Sergio Ricciarini in the document 'Main geometrical parameters of the PAMELA
+ sub-detectors' released by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and
+ S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were
+ lightly approximated.
+ ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED.
+ The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill
+ the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the
+ details of these materials.
+ TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED.
+ The top plate geometry has been simulated as a N2 box that has the same
+ dimensions of CATA. Inside it, at the right positions, there are S2 and CATA.
+ The real top plate is a rectangular window having a thickness of 0.5 cm
+ (volume TPTL emptied by the volume TPCV). This volume is filled with a mixture
+ of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). Other parts of titanium
+ are the four volumes TPTU, which are positioned at the corners of TPTL at the
+ same height of CATA, and the four volumes TPTM, which are positioned at the
+ corners of TPTL, at the same height of S2.
+ The geometry  of the top plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD
+ drawings.
  October 2006, Bari
  The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some
- volumes have been corrected while the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to
+ volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to
- put the cables have been added.
+ put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also

  a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA.

  E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions
  of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact
  that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the
  document it has been neglected.

     results in different runs, the GARFIELD program has to start typing the
