    Yes, I looked at the code and it seems that there is ~200cm from D5 to
    TOFW, thus one must add
    the 190(!?)cm from IR to D5 center.  It seems to me that we might want
    to have the 'global' distance to the
    detectors in the MRS written to the .geo file, as we do for the FS.  Or
    is there a reason for not doing this?

    Yes, they are...just that tricky 2m that was missing.  On the positive
    side, it is easier to find triton candidates
    when the detector position is so wrong...:-)
