     The newly relaesed version of brat had (as expected some problems)
    a) I had forgotten to add a module to the code that would therefore not compile.
    b) The code BrDetctorVolume update introduced by Pawel did only work correctly when the volume had
     phi>90 i.e. placed on the FS side of the beam. - I did not catch the error until get crazy results
    out of MRS tracking this afternoon - It could have been caught had I (and before then Pawel) bothered to run the
    test programs before committing. The detectorvolume test program in fact gave a message -- failed!!
    
    This is a lesson to all - please recall to run available testprograms when base classes are created, and d
    also make new one for addititons. This is a good way to ensure that modifications do not break existing classes
    and can find problems. Tests scripts and programs is one foundation of good programming techniques.
    
    regards
    and happy fall.
