Running Pythia8 with ROOT

Hi,

it seems that the Pythia setting “SoftQCD:minbias = on” is not recognised. To start playing with Pythia in ROOT, you can replace the three lines

   pythia8->ReadString("SoftQCD:minbias = on");
   pythia8->ReadString("SoftQCD:singleDiffractive = on");
   pythia8->ReadString("SoftQCD:doubleDiffractive = on");

in the tutorial with

pythia8->ReadString("HardQCD:all = on");

I hope this can get you started. Meanwhile, I am investigating the issue.

As for executing main01.cc as a macro, this is conceptually wrong. This is a program meant to be compiled.

Cheers,
Danilo
