      Dear Bjorn,
               although the Z vertex distirbution is very
    wide if we have enough events it should be possible to find 
    a well defined mean z for the the ZDC and TPM1. Thus a profile
    plot, with option ' ' for error on mean, of Z versus multiplicity
    would be useful. Thanks for helping on this.
                       Yours Michael
