    Ian,
    
    It seems that the present .geo file is not put up correctly. I do not say this from having looked
    at the actual code, but from my knowledge that the geant geometry is set up as follows
    
    The are several coordinate systems in MRS
    --   (TPM1,2 and D5) is in one (corresponding to the possible movement of D5 relative to the IR
    --   TOFW panels are situated relative to the nominal D5 center position but fixed. In this coordinate
         system the TOFW Frame is centered at about a distance 200cm, thus probably your 200 cm.
    
    The present positions in Geant i.e the .geo file should be quite close to the actual positions,

      Dear All, 
      I have been trying to understand some PID code that Djamel wrote. It 
      seems to work fine for the FFS, but fail for MRS.  After fumbling around for almost the 
      whole of last week, I think that I may have found the reason. 
      In the .geo file, TPM2 has its x center at  292.000 cm, but it seems that 
      the panels of TOFW are centered at around 200 cm.  The last time I was at BNL, 
      I was sure that I saw TOFW behind TPM2, so I'm a bit confused. 
      Question for dev-l: has anyone else had this problem, if so what should be done to correct it? 
      Question for tof-l: what are the actual centers of the four TOFW panels? 
      Thanks,
