    The member was in fact _not_ defined incorrectly.  Since the parameter
    values has been input to the MySQL database at rcas0005.rcf.bnl.gov, I
    saw little point in carrying around the _temporary_ ASCII files
    anymore, and therefor removed the relevant code from the compilation.
    This _only_ affected the single detector calibrations for TMA and
    SMA.  The MA Centrality calibration was not affected by this in
    anyway.

    The reason for the same define in both of these files was probably
    some mistake (on mine or someone elses part - I can't remember).
    Anyway, since only the module BrMultCentModule uses
    BrMultCentCalibration, and no other calibrations, there's right now no
    reason to have BR_MULT_CAL_TMP defined in BrMultCalibration.  That is,
    for all single detector calibrations, we should use the MySQL database
    and not the ASCII files.   
    
    For the MA centrality calibration, we still need the ASCII file,
    mainly because the issue of to which detector to attribute that
    calibration is not resolved yet.  I trust Steve, Hiro, and Flemming
    will figure that out at some point.

    The reason being stated above.

    The one in BrMultCentCalibration was defined, the one in
    BrMultCalibration was undefined.

    As soon as this European Graduate Collage is over, I'll make the
    nessecary changes, including the removal of the ASCII files from
    asciidata/mult, since they are no longer relevant.

    Looking forward to that.  As soon as you have the pedestal, gap,
    pulser, and gain calibrations we can do the SDE centrality
    calibrations. 
    
    May I suggest you take a look at some of the stuff in my CVS area,
    subdir jobs/calib.  There's a few utils for commiting stuff to the
    MySQL db. 
    
    Yours,
