    Folks, these are the instructions on how to run the TPC pad monitor
    to look at the current TPC data.
    
    On either opus or the pii's, run:
    
    > /home/daq/bin/padm /home/daq/config/padm-XXX.conf
    
    Where "padm-XXX.conf" is the name of the configuration file
    for a specific TPC.
    
    Currently exist: padm-j.conf ("J" pad map), padm-tpc1.conf and padm-tpc2.conf.
    
    The configuration files are stored in CVS, in "oncs/config", and
    the two /home/daq/config areas (on opus and pii3) are manually
    kept in sync.
    
    Other useful tidbits:
    
    - the "padm" sources live in CVS,
      in "/afs/rhiv/brahms/BRAHMS_CVS/oncs/TpcPadMonitor".
    - it builds and runs on sunos5.7 (using gcc/g++ 2.95.1).
    - it builds and runs on redhat linux 6.0 and 6.1, but building
      requires Motif (not tested with lesstif). The executable
      I build on pii3:/home/daq/bin/padm is statically linked with Motif,
      and should run on computers where motif is not installed.
