Dear Flemming and others,
I forgot to mention another program:
CreateDbTOFTables
It creates some TOF specific tables in the DB you mention in a command
option (because all my calibration package assumes that TOF tables are
identical in their structure in every DB server). It means that if you
want to run this package you have first to create the appropriate DB
tables.

It is planned to merge these 2 classes (I talked with Claus who wrote the
sequence manager) and I realized that the sequence manager only dealt with
sequences (increment sequences and modifies file names), which was the
goal of this class, but doesn't open
or close files, etc. So the data handler is not only doing the same (I
wrote the preliminary version last summer but it was just for my personal
use at first since I thought people had their own methods to deal with
data).
The scheme of the use of this class is:
1- Create a handler (with run number, number of events, data type, etc)
2- set some parameters (data directory, geo and mag files, etc)
3- add some modules or module containers, whatever they are
4- initialize
5- begin session
6- loop over events (do { handler->Event(); } while (NextEvent()); )
7- finish session
8- eventually other loops (can reset parameters or not before)
9- finish once more
10- end session
This is in practice what Christian Holm wanted with BrMainModule so that
I'll make it derive from this class.

That sounds great.
I'm gonna clean up the calibration package & will commit it into
brahms_app.
For BrCalibrationParamsTOF, there are 2 possibilities: either in tof/
or in dbapp/ like for BrCalibrationParamsBB
Which one is the best?
