    I did read your mail, Christian, and take this into account. I just forgot
    to mention it in my last mail - things are a bit hectic today. 
    
    I have tried to impose a vertex cut of +-30 cm on the ZDC/Mult plots, and
    to my eye it makes no difference to the spectra in this case. Maybe the
    cut should be narrower - this is being tested now. The plot I gave you is
    the one without a cut, since it had better statistics - for one with cut
    have a look at
    www.fys.uio.no/~bjornhs/Run2235_25k_vtxcut.ps
    This one has 25k events. The other difference is that here the top left
    plot is trigger 4 mult and trigger 6 mult superimposed. As Claus pointed
    out to me, we seem to have events with a high mult but no trigger 6! Any
    ideas on this?
    
    Thanks for the nice schematic :-)
