    One should always update ones BRAT just before commiting to the
    CVS. This will also show one any conflicts (on source level) that ones
    changes may cause.

    No!!! Book is there if one wants the modules to output histograms,
    which is not wanted in a batch analysis. The mandatory messages to any
    module is (in order):
    
          Module* module = new Module(...);
          // Optionally one may set some internal parameters, like:
          // module->SetInternalParameter(...)
          module->Init();
          // I belive that Book should be send here, that is after Init, 
          // but that message is optional. 
          // module->Book();
          
          while(moreRuns) {
            module->Begin();
          
            while(moreEvents) 
              module->Event(...);
          
            module->End();
          }
     
          module->Finish();

    No, it's not Netscape, but the fact that you've use some koi8-r
    symbols or similar in you mails (I guess in your signature), which
    makes Netscape encode your mail with the koi8-r encoding. It may also
    be that you've set Netscape up to use that encoding as outgoing
    mime-format (Check
    Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications->text/plain and similar). 
    Take a look at your newest mail header:
    
       X-Accept-Language: ru, en
                          ^
    List server is fine __|
    
       X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 
                                           ^
    This is the character set you want ____|
    
    
       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
                                    ^
    This is the encosing you want __|
    
    
      X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.0.38 i586)
                    ^
    Mozilla is OK __|
     
    This is in contrast to (taken from mail on Wed, 27 Sep 2000 10:20:27
    -0400) 
    
      Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
                                 ^
    This is bad _________________|
    Especially because you have the attachemnt as mime-type "Text/Html(koi8-r)"
    My mail client complains about this with "base64 decoder saw an
    illegal character". 
    
    In fact, I'd like to urge everyone not to use HTML attachments when
    sending mails to the list servers. Write your mails in plain ASCII
    (7-bit), since this is the only way to insure everyone can read what
    you have to say (and I guess that's what you want). If you really need
    people to read your stuff in a more fancy form, create a web-page and
    refer to that page in your mail. It goes without saying that this also
    applies to pictures, plots, and more lengthy documents. 
    
    Hope that clearifies some issues. 
    
    Yours,
